Through a process called photosynthesis. The flower takes in carbon dioxide and sunlight and makes food with it. Then it gives out oxygen and it starts all over again. P.S. The photosynthesis happens in the leaves. P.S. Photosynthesis happens to all plants including trees

Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) utilize light energy in the purple (reds and blues) range. Colors on the purple end of the spectrum have the highest light energy.

  • Blue light - responsible for vegetative or leaf growth (fluorescent light)
  • Red plus Blue light - encourages flowering (full spectrum or "grow lights)

Sunflowers are green plants so they get their food the same way as other plants: their roots absorb water and nutrients from the ground, and their leaves use sunlight and chlorophyll to create energy via photosynthesis.

Sunflowers are like every other plant. They need the following food sources:

  • Light energy - sunflowers require full sun of at least 6 hours per day
  • Water - necessary for metabolic processes and hydration of the plant tissues
  • Soil Nutrients - it is from the soil that the sunflower gets all the minerals it needs.
  • Helping - mulch provides organic matter and earthworms take the organic matter into the soil, aides in the release of nutrients and burrows through the soil making it more friable and easier for plant roots to take hold.
Sunflowers do not require hard-to-find nutrients or growing conditions.

Do sunflowers have chlorophyll?

Yes, sunflowers have chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color and is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Sunflowers, like other plants, rely on chlorophyll to capture sunlight and produce their own food.


Are sunflowers autotrophs?

Autotrophs simply 'self feed'. Sunflowers are photo-autotrophs. Like all plants, they need the sun as an energy source, to grow and process their food (starches etc).
