Purple Chocolate Cherry Sunflower Seeds for Planting - Non-GMO Heirloom

Our Sunflower Seeds produce vibrant and cheerful blooms that add instant beauty and charm to any garden or landscape. With their iconic yellow petals and striking appearance, sunflowers are sure to brighten up any outdoor space and bring joy to gardeners and passersby alike. These versatile flowers can be used in various ways in the landscape, whether planted in garden beds, along fences or walls, or in containers on patios or balconies, adding height, color, and visual interest to any setting, making them a versatile choice for garden design.

Sunflowers are not only beautiful but also beneficial for the ecosystem. Their large, showy blooms attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, helping to support local biodiversity and promote healthy garden ecosystems. Furthermore, in addition to their ornamental value, sunflowers also produce edible seeds that are delicious and nutritious. Customers can harvest sunflower seeds for snacking, baking, or adding to salads and other dishes, providing a tasty and healthful treat straight from the garden.

When it comes to planting, our Sunflower Seeds are easy to grow, making them suitable for gardeners of all skill levels. For direct sowing, plant the seeds directly in the garden after the last frost when the soil has warmed to at least 50-55°F (10-13°C). Most sunflowers need a long, warm season to develop fully. Alternatively, for a head start (particularly in cooler areas), start the seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost and transplant them outdoors once temperatures are consistently warm.

Regardless of the planting method, sunflowers require full sun (at least 6 hours a day) and well-draining, fertile soil. Amend the soil with compost if needed. Spacing between plants will depend on the variety, ranging from 6 inches to a few feet apart, so be sure to follow the specific instructions on the seed packet.

When planting, place the seeds about 1 inch deep. For direct sowing, prepare the soil by loosening it and removing weeds, then plant the seeds at the correct spacing and water gently and thoroughly. For starting indoors, use peat pots or plantable containers to minimize transplant shock, planting 1-2 seeds per pot and keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Sunflower seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days, after which customers can enjoy the satisfaction of growing their own sunflowers with little effort, making gardening a joyful and rewarding experience.
