I am certainly no expert but my plan is just to plant closely spaced rows of sunflowers and then cut the maze out. This is not a huge corn maze but a mini maze that is kid sized. Another fun one for kids is pole bean tunnels. We hoop cattle panels over top to bottom so they are 10' long low to the ground tunnels and plant pole beans to grow over them. The kids can crawl through them and hide in them.

I don't know much about sunflowers, but a maze sounds great! How would you
go about planting such a thing?

Greetings,
I am planning on doing my first sunflower maze this year. It will be
small,
about 1/3 acre. I just thought it would be fun for kids attending the
pumpkin patch. For those of you that have experience with sunflower mazes
please share some knowledge. What variety or varieties do you prefer??? I
would like to be able to use the flowers I cut out to sell at market so a
dual purpose would be nice. Any culture tips?
Thanks,
