Wildflowers - Sunflower Seeds
Sunflowers come in many colors and sizes, and also have varied uses. It is so fun for a young child to plant sunflower seeds, and watch them quickly grow up into a towering flower! They are generally easy to grow, and the huge seed heads make a natural bird feeder. Some of the dwarf varieties are shorter and handle wind better, but the heads are still huge. If you want to add more than just a splash of yellow to your garden, then try some of the reddish or brownish types of bulk sunflower seeds for planting, like Autumn Beauty or Velvet Queen.

Sunflowers were named for their habit of turning their faces to the sun. At the beginning of their development they exhibit heliotropism, or following the sun in its course from east to west, though the mature blossoms usually end up facing straight east. These versatile plants have an ancient history, beginning with Native American tribes across North America as early as 2000 BC. The seeds were used for their oil, ground up for meal, or simply eaten as a snack; the plant also provided dye and medicinal ointment. In 18th century Europe, sunflowers were widely used both in gardens and for making cooking oil; the production of this heart-healthy oil eventually became a major industry both in Europe and America. These are said to be the happiest of flowers, and in the language of flowers they symbolize loyalty and constancy.Starting at $2.50 USD
