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.
Delicious and prolific.I'll plant this on repeat!
Grew these for the past three years and I will keep growing them for many more. I highly recommend them. Great germination rate. Every onion grew to the size of baseballs and others a bit bigger and they store very well.Best long day onion I have ever grow.
I am very happy with my heirloom seeds. I cannot wait to germinate them.
Started my seeds on 12/31/25. I’ve had almost 100% germination and the onion seedlings are a couple of inches tall at this point (1/9/26). Looking forward to a great harvest!
Grew these last year, so I bought more seeds! they were awesome, very prolific and tasted great!!
