Oilseed Sunflower

This non-gmo, open-pollinated sunflower seed is good for pressing for oil, feeding birds or chickens, or just planting a whole lot of sunflowers around your garden. If you have ever been surprised by the sight of an entire field of sunflowers, you've most likely seen these. A tallish (6-8 feet) yellow sunflower. Beautiful in the garden. The flowers are large enough to be impressive, but not so big that you only get one or two, like the snack-seed sunflowers. Makes lots of black seeds that are smaller than the kind sold as snacks. They are high in sunflower oil for culinary use. (Counter-top presses are now available if you would like to make your own vegetable oil). Beloved by birds--these are the expensive "niger seeds" that they sell for bird feeders. If you don't expect to be shelling and eating the seeds, this is a great garden sunflower. You can cut the flowers at maturity, dry and hang as bird feeders--the seeds are loved by birds, and I plant them around my chicken run for a chicken treat. 60 seeds
