“Giganteus Sunflower Seeds”
If the birds gave awards to their favorite garden plants, Giganteus would be the wings-down winner! No Sunflower is more generous with the seeds—each 12-inch bloom contains a dinner-plate-sized central disk just stuffed with richness. The bright yellow petals, arranged in a tight circle around the center, are brilliantly colored and very cheery, bringing in the butterflies! Giganteus is the Sunflower that wins competitions, and its foot-wide blooms are absolutely staggering, especially when the 10-foot-tall plants appear in a long row against an outbuilding or other structure. The essence of summer in the country, Giganteus is an oversized, generous joy for birds and humans alike! 12 INCH BLOOMS

“Sunspot Sunflower Seeds”
Blooms just 60 days after planting!
Plants reach just 2 1/2 feet tall! 10 INCH BLOOMS
Here is a classic Sunflower, with big 10-inch nodding heads stuffed with seeds. It is perched atop erect, child-size bushes only 2 1/2 feet tall. The vibrant, golden-yellow petals surround golden-brown centers filled with seeds.
Mature heads yield a bounty of delectable seeds for birds- and for people, also.
This sunflower is ideal for hedges, screens or as a background. It is also very easy to grow and it can be direct sown into your sunny garden. Pkt is 50 seeds.
I will get Sunspot because the plants are only 2 to 2 1/2 feet tall so they will mature faster. If you want them 10 feet tall, get the other one. It’s going to take some time for them to grow to that height and produce blooms and seeds ready to gather.
