I bought these two seasons ago. The first year I only grew a few, just dug a hole and transplanted my starts. All of them did well even though I honestly neglected them. Grew to about ten feet. This year I started maybe 40. All but 2 sprouted into very healthy plants! I prepared a place for 18 plants, transplanted them(they transplanted well just don't let them outgrow their container or it will stunt their growth) into manuer compost and made sure to water them well in dry spells. All but two grew into huge 12 foot tall plants and the other 2 must have reached 14 feet! Very healthy. All gave me a huge amount of large seeds that taste great. I plan to plant about a hundred plants this spring. Can't wait to see those beautiful giant yellow flowers again! Made a big impression on people. My grandpa snuck over and cut one right out of my garden because he wanted to put it next to his Mailbox! I was slightly offended but at least I know he was impressed. Highly reccomend.
Excited with this product...90% germination so far.
Looking forward to these sunflowers against our fence behind our raised beds. Fun for the kids and the birds love them - keeps the birds a little busier so they’ll keep out of other parts of the garden! As always, high quality seeds.
