A tallish (6 feet) yellow sunflower. Beautiful in the garden, and the big flowers are large enought to be impressive, but not so big you have to stake the plant. 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 dry and hang as bird feeders--the seeds are loved by birds, and I plant them around my chicken run for a chicken treat. 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. 60 seeds
