Sunflower Snacker Seed

Helianthus annuus (hybrid)

Item #7208

LARGE PACKET

Annual. Each giant Sunflower Snacker plant can reach 8’ tall! The enormous yellow flowers with green centers average 12" across, and will produce about one pound of seeds filled with tasty, meaty kernels. Sunflowers are very easy to grow in almost any sunny garden. They are drought tolerant and fast growing; you can almost watch them grow an inch or more a day! Flowers begin blooming about 65 days after sowing; seeds will be ready to harvest about 4 weeks later. We’ve included tips inside this packet on how to protect your ripening seeds from squirrels and birds, and a recipe for roasting seeds.
