Gorgeous 4"–6" sunset-hued flowers with dark centers bloom in abundance over a long bloom period to keep your garden alight with color and pollinators, and your flower vases full for many weeks. Several rich tones all on one plant! Sunflowers are edible, with a bittersweet flavor. The petals add a pretty pop of color ion salads and desserts. The young, sunflower buds are edible, with a flavor similar to artichoke hearts. They can be grilled, marinated, or sauteed for an unusual appetizer or side dish. Multi-branching habit makes for an excellent annual screen. Sunflowers are one of the easiest flowering plants to grow and drought tolerant.

    I haven't had the sunflower actually grow. We had an unexpected heat wave and then snow, but I still have more seeds and plan to try again. I'm still learning my new area, which is almost opposite my old one, so its a learning curve.

    Thank you for all the options for just sunflowers!

    Seeds arrived quickly and grew despite my being a gardener now that I am retired. I put bags of compost down and raked in seeds. All grew beautifully. Did the same to expand my pollinators patch.

    I planted these in late April, every seed germinated. We an amazing variety of beautiful colors, and the bees went crazy for them all summer.

    There is something rather magical about a sunflower and how beautiful they become. I planted mine for the birds and bees but the squirrels seem to really enjoy them.

    I just love this wonderful variety and artwork on each packet.
