Velvet Queen Sunflower Seeds for Planting

Velvet Queen sunflower seeds grow one of summer's most exclusive and rare blooms, exceptional 60 – 72" tall branching sunflowers with hypnotic 8" heads of smokey blood-orange mahogany petals around a heavily black-seeded center. There is little reason to start these seeds indoors, as they grow so vigorously. Sow Velvet Queen seeds directly after the final frost in a sunny spot at the north end of the garden, sheltering them from strong winds. Sunflowers may need staking if grown isolated and away from the support of a full garden.

Velvet Queen seeds will take 7 – 14 days for germination. Plant 2 – 3 seeds ½" deep, 10 - 12" apart, in average, light, loamy, and well-drained soil in full sun. Always plant tall variety sunflowers at the north end of a garden, as they will not take long to overshadow a poorly planned garden. Adjust staking and wind protection as the Velvet Queen sunflower matures. Monitor regularly for foliage-eating beetles and caterpillars.

Velvet Queen sunflower seeds are quick to mature at 90 - 110 days, growing as 60 – 72" tall branching uprights with 10" wide spreads and one 8" head of smokey blood-orange mahogany petals around a black seeded center.

Each packet of 50 Velvet Queen Sunflower seeds comes with full instructions on how to grow these beautiful sunflowers for your outdoor home garden. Soaking the seeds in cool water for 12-24 hours prior to planting will help speed up germination.

The Velvet Queen sunflower is a #1 non-GMO seed source, offering a unique and stunning addition to any home garden.
