Certified Organic Heirloom Sunflower (Helianthus Annuus)
Sunflowers are the national flower of Ukraine. Sunflowers are also a native annual, which provide forage for honeybees, native bees, and specialist bees such as long-horned bees, miner bees, resin bees, sweat bees and sunflower bees. All sales of our Certified Organic European Heirloom Sunflower Seeds will be donated to Doctors Without Borders. This Spring, plant a pollinator garden for peace as a symbol of solidarity and resilience for those in Ukraine.
Both mature seeds and flower petals are edible. Petals have a slight bitter taste and can be used as a fresh garnish for soups or salads. Seeds are open pollinated and untreated. Certified organic by Pacific Agricultural Certification Society (PACS).
