Sunflower, Jumbo

Seeds Per Pack: 50

Description
Damn these are big. These giants were doubled over from their own weight, but still survived a hurricane (or was it a tropical storm?). Measuring up to 8” tall with tons of big seeds for roasting and tons of pollen for happy bees. Collected from our friends at Brooklyn Grange.

To Sow

  • Date: Indoors: April 1- May 15, Transplant May 15- July 1; Direct Seed May 15- June 15
  • Planting Depth: ½”
  • Germination Rate: 75%

To Grow

  • For Raised Beds: Space Sunflowers 8”-12”, leaving 18” between rows. Stagger your rows to make a wall of yellow blooms!
  • For Containers: Sunflowers need a deep container measuring at least 3 gallons.
