The listing, Mammoth Russian Sunflower Seeds (10) has ended.
Bid for 10 mammoth russian sunflower seeds! These are the plants that are used to commercially harvest sunflower seeds! The flowers can get as big as dinner plates! Birds and butterflies love this plant! The plants in the first picture are from my own garden (which will eventually be transplanted elsewhere). To give a size reference, they are planted in 2 litre bottles! The seeds in the packet are the exact seeds you'll receive and are the same stock I used (and I had a 100% germination rate)! Save some of the seeds, and grow more next year! They make a tasty snack (salt to your own liking) or feed as treats to birds, rabbits, etc. You'll have plenty to go around!
Days to germination: ~10-14 (mine germinated in 2-3 days, but this is the safe estimate)
Days to Bloom: ~100
Plant Height: ~8-12 ft. !!!
Plant Spacing: ~16"
Note: Growing is a container is STRONGLY discouraged as the roots can grow up to 4 ft. into the ground! It's fine to use containers as starter pots for these though!
*** I will ship a care sheet along with the seeds if you want one! This is the same care sheet I use to grow my own plants! Just let me know when you send your shipping address! If you have any more questions about these seeds or how to grow them, please feel free to ask!
*** Two of mine are beginning to form a flower! I'll get a picture of them once I figure out how to get my camera to focus properly on them!
*** I have another auction of these ending one hour from now as well, so if you get outbid on this one, don't worry! I'll also have my last two ending next weekend (until I can harvest the seeds from mine growing now), so feel free to bid on those as well!
