Is it possible to grow sun flower and lavender in tropical area with high humidity?

I wanna grow some in my front yard, that would be lovely if it's possible.

It should be possible to grow both as long as they are planted in an amended soil that is water retentive. Both do like the sun. You could also add a layer mulch to keep the roots cooler. I would suggest that you consider planting a dwarf variety of sun-flower which grows 3 to 4 feet. The standard varieties grow to 6 or 7 ft. plus, and often need to be staked which may not look too pretty in a front yard; but that too depends on where you plan to plant them. Just something to keep in mind.
Reply:As long as you get enough sunlight, you can grow sunflowers. I had some in Hawaii. Lavender I'm not sure of.
Reply:no not well without either plant suffering or simply rotting
Reply:Absolutely!!!!! They should grow very well there! They both love sunlight... and I think humidity too...





Good luck!
Reply:yes it will grow very well there they love the high humidity and the heat also
Reply:yes you can but you know that sun flowers are pretty but once they get big and mature they turn black. are you sure you want that/
Reply:sure. as long as they get heaps of sunlight
Reply:Mine grew fine when I lived near Washinton DC, and we all know how much steam and hot air comes out of that place. RScott
