SUNFLOWER 'Mongolian Giant'

Incredibly huge variety can grow up to 14 feet tall and produces flower heads that are a staggering 16-18 inches across. But it's not just the size that makes this sunflower special - it also produces some of the largest seeds you can find, between .75 and 1", making it a great choice for those who love to snack on seeds. The petals are actually edible and make a great, bright, and bittersweet garnish for salads. The plants are native to the American prairies and attract bees and birds with their nectar and ripened seeds. Historically, sunflowers were used to symbolize hope for the future. To prevent toppling, it's recommended to cluster the plants. This sunflower also looks lovely mixed in with a wildflower meadow, for a bright and cheery display. Pollinator attracting, and wild birds will eat any seeds you don't quickly harvest. Fast-growing, drought-tolerant. 90-100 days.
