Florida is known for having some pretty impressive sunflower fields, many of which guests can actually visit and pick the flowers themselves. Sunflowers grow well in Florida due to the fact that the native varieties love when the sun starts getting hot. In Florida, sunflowers usually bloom in late spring, which means that this is the time to start preparing for a road trip to see all of the beauty up close. We’ve crafted the ultimate sunflower road trip through Florida, featuring a handful of U-Pick places to see. The entire trip takes under 2.5 hours and can be found by clicking here.
