Great Germination

"Seeds arrived quickly. 100% germination, seedlings grew strong. Transplanted and doing well. Can’t wait for blossoms!"

— Alice K. (5/5)

Verdict: A must-have for bold, effortless beauty!

"Ferry-Morse’s Mexican Sunflower (Tithonia rotundifolia) seeds offer fast germination, vibrant orange-red blooms, and easy care. Growing 4-6 feet tall, they attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making them perfect for pollinator gardens. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, they thrive in full sun and poor soil. Great for cut flowers and deer-resistant, these blooms shine all summer long."

Too soon to Tell 🌺🌺

"Ordered in mid January 2025, and received in a timely manner. Can’t wait for the spring to start the seeds and plant them. Will update later this summer when I’m sure I will have beautiful blooms and lots of butterflies."

— Margaret G. (5/5)

Beautiful flowers

"I love plants and flowers. Especially the vibrant color these flowers are going to have. These flowers are loved by pollinators. It takes them about 75 days to bloom. We will wait to see how beautiful they will turn out."

— Nelii21 (5/5)

Gorgeous and easy

"These flowers are so beautiful I'm glad that I chose this particular item they are pestry's assistant and all of them terminated I didn't have 1 dud 1 thing I will say is that they are growing slower than I anticipated however as you can see in the picture the flowers are gorgeous I'm hoping that with dead heading I'll be able to have them go through all the way through the fall andto freeze I definitely recommend this sand can II want to"

— Mariettar (5/5)

Lovely garden addition

"I wasn’t able to participate in this campaign due to issues with shipping, but I have purchased these before and they grew beautiful flowers that I was excited to possibly see again."

— Malloryu1 (5/5)

Sunflower seeds

"As you can see from my photo, the seeds germinated well. I think every seed sprouted. It was about 7 days after I had planted the seeds before I started to see them come up out of the ground. I haven't jad them planted long enough for them to bloom, but if they keep going like they are then the flowers should look great"

— Hoguesrus (5/5)

— Laurasac34 (5/5)

— Sami20 (5/5)

Love them!

"Quick germination and growth, and I have yet to have an issue with pests even in a garden full of other vegetables and wildflowers! They haven’t bloomed yet, but I have only had the seeds planted for about 3 weeks at this point. I can’t wait!"

— Chelseel3 (5/5)
