Sunflower – Mammoth Dark Center (2 pack)

Description

This giant among sunflowers is a fast grower whose single stalk can reach 12′ tall and produces one 10″-12″ flower! Not fussy about soil, it’s very easy to grow and drought tolerant. Grow in a tight row to make an attractive screen. Sow monthly for continual bloom into fall. Edible, gray-striped seeds invite birds in the fall (if you don’t eat the seeds first!). Sunflower petals are edible, with a bittersweet flavor. The petals add a pretty pop of color on salads and desserts. The young, sunflower buds are edible, with a flavor similar to artichoke hearts. They can be grilled, marinated, or sautéed for an unusual appetizer or side dish. – Seeds from Botanical Interests. . These are recently germinated seedlings (3 weeks approx.)  You will receive TWO seedlings per purchase in cell packs.
