Sunflower - large-flowered

The large-flowered sunflower is a true classic. This giant cut flower can grow to over two meters tall. The plant has an unbranched stem and a large yellow flower with a dark center. The large black seeds are edible and can be harvested from mid-September. Ripe seeds detach easily and can be removed directly, but there is a good chance that finches will get to them first. Birds love the seeds. Also an excellent plant for bees!

Dry the flower heads well, as they mold quickly.
