Description
Mammoth Greystripe Sunflower
Everyone loves this fast growing sunflower with enormous gold-yellow blossoms and edible seeds. Quickly grows to 8-10' with minimal care. Easy to grow.
Planting
Select a location with full to part sun and average soil. Sunflowers are quite drought tolerant, but will grow shorter in harsher conditions. May be started indoors four weeks before last frost date. Keep evenly moist and well weeded until plants are established.
Note
Save seeds for winter eating by hanging mature heads upside down in a cool, dry area for a few weeks. The seeds will brush off the flower head when completely dry.
