Reviews

My absolute favorite

"I purchased these last year and they had an AMAZING turnout so of course I had to buy them again this year. SUPER excited to plant again:)"

— Parker (5/5)

Beautiful flower

"This is the most beautiful sunflower strain. I can’t wait to see it fully bloom! It’s taken awhile to get to this point but it’ll be worth the wait."

— Randomcookies (4/5)

Beautiful but not red

"Knocking one star off because, while I do have lovely sunflowers growing, they aren’t even somewhat red in color. I’m disappointed but not exactly sad. And the bees love them!"

— Joanna (4/5)

High Quality Seeds

"I was very impressed with these seeds. They germinated well. They have not fully grown yet but so far they are growing nicely. I have no doubt they will turn out to be beautiful flowers."

— Kylieg60 (5/5)

Hearty sunflower 🌻

"Our sunflower is growing beautifully in our garden. The seeds were planted early June. Although the flower hasn’t bloomed yet we are expecting a beauty."

— Lindstini629 (4/5)

Love sunflowers

"Well other than getting this product late. I started the growing process in my house. Due to how late it is in the season. I have a small indoor green house. Excited to see how this will work out. Will post updates."

— Babylove9387 (5/5)

Protect from the squirrels!

"Planted a batch immediately. They came up roughly a week later. Within days the squirrels ate the little babies. So I planted the remainder. Of the entire packet only 2 survived the squirrels. They seem to take a bit longer than others I've grown, but I'm very excited to see their blooms!"

— Seritayvonne (5/5)

Different Color Option

"I’m really excited for these to bloom! Almost all of the seeds germinated and the majority of them continued to grow. I can’t wait to see if they turn out the color on the package."

— Morganh1405 (5/5)

Beautiful but not red

"Knocking one star off because, while I do have lovely sunflowers growing, they aren’t even somewhat red in color. I’m disappointed but not exactly sad. And the bees love them!"

— Joanna (4/5)

Germinated very well.

"Most of the seeds in the pack have germinated! I am excited to get these planted and see how they turn out (in a month or two), sunflowers are my favorite! The Germinated very quickly and seem to be growing well! I used miracle grow soil and a biodegradable pot for easy transplanting! So far so good!"
