Sunflowers are native American wildflowers. They are easy to grow and come in a variety of sizes and colors so that you’re sure to find the perfect variety for your garden when you shop Park Seed.
Many gardeners have an idea in their head when they hear the word sunflower. We all think of the giant sunflower seed plant that grows over 10 feet tall. Park Seed has these sunflower seeds for sale, but many gardeners don’t have the space for these giant beauties. Don’t worry! You still have plenty of choices that only grow three to four feet tall. They still have the sunflower "face to the sun" characteristic, but they come in a much more manageable size.
Plant sunflower seeds in a full sun location. Direct sow the seeds in the garden. If you are planting the giant sunflowers, be prepared to add some support to prevent the sunflower from damage during storms or high winds. Mix up the seeds of several varieties if you want a more interesting and colorful cut flower arrangement. Here at Park Seed, we’ve already done the work for you by offering collections and mixed seeds ready to plant in your garden, as well as the individual varieties.
Sunflower seeds are easy to plant and germinate. You can choose varieties that come in all different colors — from white to a deep russet brown or even bicolor. We also offer perennial sunflowers for the back of your perennial bed. So whether you want to grow the record-breaking tallest sunflower, feed the birds (or yourself) with the sunflower seeds or just love these sunny flower heads in bouquets or dried flower arrangements, Park Seed has the best sunflower seed packets for sale for you!
