Sunflower Trails 2023





Walk through trails in our sunflower field, take pictures, and experience the beauty of Kansas!

9/5/23 update: Yesterday's hot wind dried the sunflowers down quite a bit. They are still worth visiting but be prepared for them to be a little wilted!

2023 Estimated Bloom Date: August 28-September 8 (Subject to change) - Check our Facebook page more more updates (The Heights Wedding Venue)

Sunflower Facts


How are sunflowers harvested? Watch the video below!



  • The sunflower is the state flower of Kansas!
  • Kansas is the nation’s 5th leading producer of sunflowers.
  • There are several different types of sunflowers. Ours are High Oleic that are used for sunflower oil. 
  • We plant our sunflowers in June or July (Learn more about how they are planted)
  • We harvest them in October or November (Learn more about how they are harvested)
  • Our sunflowers are taken to a nearby elevator and processed into either birdseed, cooking oil, or sunflower meal.
  • It is a common misconception that blooming sunflowers follow the sun. At times, when the buds are still small, ours will follow, but after they bloom they always face east! This is mainly because the heads are so heavy.
