Let the amazing sunflower put a smile on your face
During the peak of North Dakota’s growing season—typically in late July to August—brilliant sunflower fields stretch across the landscape, lifting spirits and brightening the horizon. People from all around the world ask about seeing these golden blooms, and thanks to the participation of local farmers, visitors have the chance to experience the beauty up close, snap some photos, and create memories while celebrating one of North Dakota’s leading crops. These fields of yellow flowers welcoming the morning sun can be found throughout North Dakota.
- Look for the ND Be Legendary mailboxes which contain sunflower seeds that are free for visitors to take.
- Those viewing the colorful crops in North Dakota are reminded not to enter any field without the landowner's permission.
- Also please note that sunflowers may need to be sprayed to control insects or weeds. Often this spraying is done by aerial application. Be alert and avoid fields that are being sprayed.
