Sunflowers
Latin Name
Helianthus spp.
Description
A Native American domesticate, the seeds are eaten raw or roasted, pressed for oil, planted as an ornamental or for bird feed. The black-seeded variety is used for basketry dye material by the Hopi. Approx. 25 seeds/packet.
Culture
Plant seeds in the spring or with the summer rains, 1 inch deep and 12 inches apart. Plants can grow 6-7 feet tall.
Seed Saving
Sunflowers are insect-pollinated annuals, and all varieties will cross. Protect maturing seed heads from the birds with paper sacks or cloth bags (pillow cases work great). Allow seeds to dry in the flower heads. Rub out seeds and winnow off chaff.
