What you should know

Completely safe, the seeds are a snack, and the ASPCA lists it as non-toxic to pets.

Whoa

Young sunflowers turn to follow the sun across the sky all day, then swing back east overnight to be ready for sunrise.

Staying safe around it

This one is genuinely harmless to people. Still look with your eyes and let it go about its day.

Always ask a grown-up before you touch any animal or plant. If something bites or stings you, tell an adult right away.
