This sunflower produces delicious black seeds that can be used in baking, roasting, or bird feed. Grows up to 12 ft tall with a flower head that reaches 15-18 inches wide. These beautiful sunflowers are great at attracting birds, bees, and squirrels. The large stems of this variety can be dried and used for firewood!
Black Russian Sunflower
Hard to review when I haven't planted them yet. Looking forward to some beautiful flowers next summer. Will have to return once I have grown the plants.
My wife loves the sun flowers. I am very pleased with my choices of seeds.
Planted these in my sunniest spot. Looking forward to seeing them grow.
Most of my flowers are grown for the wildlife.
These were noticeably visited more by the birds and the bees than some of the other varieties.
I gave one to my partner last summer... he said, "WHY DOES THIS TASTE LIKE CHAMPAGNE??"
This variety will be in my garden until I can no longer garden!
I just planted them and they look beautiful so far
Excellent Germination!
One of my favorite things to grow is spinach, I grow mostly in containers so I like to try and get as much as possible out of my small garden. This variety definitely does that. I get massive leaves and fill up a gallon sized ziplock bag relatively quickly every week when the harvest begins.
Germination went very well, popped up within a few days. Growing well!
