Sunflower (Helianthus annuus)
This mammoth sunflower earns the name, growing to a soaring 12ft! The massive blooms hum with bees all summer and the seed heads produce pounds of nutritious grey-striped seeds. Grown in a tight row these giants make a great privacy screen and they are drought tolerant and thrive in average soil.
Origin: The parent seed of our Mammoth Sunflower came from seeds we saved from four individuals plants while on a trip to the Lakes District in Chile near Villarica Lake.
(Approximately 30 seeds per packet)
Planting Instructions: sow 1 seed 1" deep with a minimum of 12" between after danger of frost in spring. Full sun.
