About Florist's Sunny Bouquet Sunflower Seeds
Helianthus annuus (hybrid)
Who can resist flowers with names like 'Apricot Twist', 'Lemon Sorbet', 'Moonshadow', and 'Peach Passion'? Also livening up this brilliant mix are 'Starburst Lemon Éclair', 'Stella Gold', 'ProCut Orange', and 'Starburst Lemon Aura'. These tall plants, some single stemmed and some branching, are ideal for the back of the garden or as a border. Plant only 10" apart to produce longer stems with smaller blooms. As pollenless hybrids, there'll be no more messy pollen drop from your gorgeous cut flower arrangements, but still plenty of nectar for pollinators. 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.Drought tolerant, but best flower production with regular water.

- Hannah E.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars7/24/26Lack of variety
I was very excited to grow this mix, but so far all my plants (20-30 of them) seem to be the same variety. I made sure to plant seeds that looked different, but nevertheless they’re all an orange- yellow with dark centers. They’re beautiful, but not what I was hoping for!

- Justin A.Verified ReviewerRated 1 out of 5 stars7/8/26They are mislabeled. Gorgeous but not what I ordered
I have been eagerly anticipating my blend of sunflowers to bloom after carefully protecting them from the birds and bugs. Good news- super great germination. Bad news- of the 8 different listed varieties they suggest you’ll enjoy…nope. Only one and it’s very plain and quite boring. It’s nothing bad but nothing special and for my placement I was looking for variety both for the purpose of interest but also for the longevity of the bloom season. This will be short lived and I am saddened. I love this seed supplier and it’s the first flop I’ve gotten from them.

We love that you're already impressed with how huge they're getting - just wait until they reach their full height and those gorgeous blooms start opening up! Your front yard is going to be absolutely stunning! Keep on growing 🌻️
- D h.Verified ReviewerRated 2 out of 5 stars4/23/26Good Germination but no variety
All the seeds planted germinated however 22 out of 25 were the same yellow types with the seed area in the middle. No teddy bear ones, apricot colored ones, nor white as pictured on the package. They are beautiful though it’s just too bad they give you more of the common ones than the other rarer ones. Save your money and buy the varieties you really want individually so that you can guarantee the outcome.
