Did not know this

🌻 Sunflowers (family Asteraceae) are known for their phytoremediation properties: they can help clean up soil contaminated with hazardous substances, like heavy metals or radiation. They can absorb these contaminants through their roots and help in cleaning and restoring the soil. The common sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a species harvested for its edible oily seeds which are used in the production of cooking oil. The plant has an erect rough-hairy stem, reaching typical heights of 3 metres (10ft). The tallest sunflower on record achieved 9.17m (30ft 1in). Sunflower leaves are broad, coarsely toothed, rough and mostly alternate; those near the bottom are largest and commonly heart-shaped.
