Sunflower Velvet Queen Seed Tape

Seed-starting just got a whole lot easier, thanks to this revolutionary tape! Now you can plant elaborate designs in the Sunflower garden -- or just get those really straight rows that never seem to happen no matter how carefully you measure as you sow! With seed tape, you just lay down the tissue paper strips where you want the plants to grow, cut them to fit your space, rake a bit of dirt over them (¼- to ½-inch is fine), and water! Presto -- a perfect crop of Sunflowers that look like they were planted by a professional!

You get 2 strips of seed tape, each 7½ feet long and filled with seeds of Sunflower Velvet Queen, a magnificent bloom sporting shades of yellow, orange, and red ringed around a large, glittering black center. Measuring up to 8 inches across and very, very freely borne all summer long, these flowers are unforgettable in the garden or vase. When we grew Velvet Queen in our trial gardens, crowds formed around its tall stalks! You will fall in love with this sunset of colors too!

Velvet Queen really does look like a setting sun, with its play of warm colors and huge size. These flowers arise on 4- to 5-foot stalks -- a manageable size for the bed, border, or even vegetable garden, and just right for lining up along a fence or wall! The bloom is heaviest in midsummer, but you will find both early and late comers among Velvet Queen's blooms, keeping your vases full and your garden ablaze for many weeks.

Perfect for a child's first garden or a seasoned landscaper's prize display, Velvet Queen will delight you! Plant it in plenty of sun and normal to dry soil. And if you want a variety of Sunflowers (who doesn't?), we've got a collection of 4 varieties in seed tape that will knock your socks off!

Set of 2 tapes, each 7½ feet long.
