Mammoth Grey Stripe Sunflower Seeds for Planting - Non GMO Heirloom 5 Grams

This package contains 50 Mammoth Grey Stripe Sunflower seeds. These non-GMO, heirloom seeds weigh 5 grams. The Mammoth Sunflower is an amazing giant heirloom variety, boasting enormous blooms up to 1 foot across. The large yellow flowers with brown centers top plants that grow 9-12 feet tall, yielding heavy loads of edible seeds.

Mammoth Sunflowers are fast and easy to grow, making them great for creating a sunforest for kids, a tall annual hedge, or a natural screen. Sow the seeds in the spring, after the last average frost date. When the seedlings reach around 3 inches tall, they should be thinned out to stand 2 feet apart.

The seeds of the Mammoth Sunflower attract birds and make a wonderful, nutritious snack for humans. To save the seeds for future planting or consumption, cut the stem beneath the flower heads when the backs of the flower heads turn yellow. Hang the flower heads upside down in a cool, dry place for about a month to allow them to fully dry. Cover the drying flower heads with netting or a paper sack with holes to prevent the seeds from falling out - but be sure to keep an eye out for pesky squirrels!

These Certified Organic Mammoth Sunflower seeds are not only a delight to grow, but they also serve as an important food source and habitat for pollinators like bees and butterflies. Incorporate these giant, stunning sunflowers into your garden or landscape for a truly impressive display that will benefit both you and the local wildlife.
