Velvet Queen Sunflower Seeds (Organic)
Velvet Queen Sunflower Seeds (Organic)
Velvet Beauty in Bloom
The Velvet Queen Sunflower, scientifically known as Helianthus annuus, is a distinct and visually striking sunflower variety. Originating in North America, these sunflowers stand out with their deep burgundy or velvety red petals that encircle a dark chocolate-brown center, creating a captivating contrast of colors. These sunflowers can grow to a height of up to 6 feet (1.8 meters), producing solitary blossoms that serve as eye-catching focal points in gardens.
Unlike some sunflowers grown for their edible seeds, the Velvet Queen Sunflower is primarily cultivated for its ornamental beauty. Its nectar-rich blooms attract essential pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to the overall biodiversity of your garden.
To grow Velvet Queen Sunflowers from seeds successfully, you'll need well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight. These sunflowers thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Plant the seeds in the spring when frost is no longer a concern, at a depth of around 1 inch (2.5 centimeters), spacing them 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 centimeters) apart.
Velvet Queen Sunflowers are a popular choice among gardeners looking to add a touch of drama and beauty to their outdoor spaces. Their captivating appearance and ease of cultivation make them a valuable addition to gardens and landscapes while supporting essential pollinators.

Let customers speak for us
The cute packaging caught my eye first. I love you can open it up sprinkle in the seeds you need to use, and then close it up for another time. It is compact and cute. I am eager to harvest my greens.
One of my favorites to grow…always get a good yield out of this one and the flavor is just…YUM!
I received these in August and they have braved the heat of the past 2 months. I have continued to water them to ensure they live. One tree looks much better than the other, although I see buds ready for next year on both. I can't wait for spring to see blooms, leaves and branches to begin.
huge bulbs made up of huge cloves; perfect quality for planting - very firm and paper in tact.
My order was prompt and just what I expected.
I purchased Elephant and Music garlic bulbs to plant in my zone 7 garden. They arrived as firm, healthy bulbs.
Heads were big with many large cloves. I am anticipating a great outcome in early summer 🧄
Our chickens love this forage.I was a little concerned growing this in south Florida however it is flourishing. Our new go to, thanks Peaceful Valley!
What a deal - top quality and only $20.99. Happy Frog is a premium brand.
I prepped my raised beds with Happy Frog Potting Soil. I love that it contains earthworms castings. Premium product!
Firm bulbs, excellent quality. I eagerly await the saffron harvest next Spring.
Lovely large bulbs, wonderful quality!
I planted a row of red chesnok. The color is stunning, excellent quality.
I just planted two rows of CA late white. Garlic bulbs look beautiful - great quality. Can't wait for harvest and for braiding time!
I have been ordering shallots from Grow Organic for a couple of years now. I had some problems with the shallots, I have to say they have the best customer service. I am a Master Gardener and have ordered 100's of different veggies seeds for years at many different companies as I buy seeds for the Master Garden's and never have experience such great customer service. I believe anything you buy from them you will be happy
