If you’ve lived in Kansas for any amount of time, you have likely driven past iconic Kansas sunflower fields. The Kansas state flower, sunflowers are known to provide beautiful, picturesque backdrops for family photos or outings. They never get old!
Like many other crops, sunflowers have peak seasons depending on the weather and time of year in which they are planted. Some farms have different bloom and peak times – most during the months of July – September (depending on the weather!) so be sure to check their Facebook Pages for accurate updates on bloom times.
Sunflower Field Etiquette: Sunflower fields, whether public or private, belong to farmers and families. Some farms welcome visitors, while others are private property and not open to the public. For those who welcome visitors, it is so important to respect the fields by making donations (for those with donation boxes), only picking when signs suggest you may do so, and of course not leaving any trash.
