What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Create a vibrant, pollinator-rich garden with this 6 Sunflower Seed Collection from Survival Garden Seeds. Featuring six distinctive varieties—Autumn Beauty, Dwarf Sungold, Lemon Queen, Chocolate Cherry, Black Russian, and Mexican Sunflower—this assortment brings a stunning range of colors, heights, and textures to any outdoor space. These sun-loving annuals attract bees, butterflies, birds, and even monarchs, while also providing excellent cut flowers and, in some varieties, edible or oil-rich seeds.

Six Beautiful and Useful Sunflower Varieties:

  • Autumn Beauty produces branching plants 5–8 feet tall with multiple 6-inch blooms in warm shades of burgundy, orange, yellow, and crimson surrounding dark centers.
  • Dwarf Sungold (Teddy Bear) grows 2–3 feet tall, making it ideal for containers and small gardens. Its fuzzy, pom-pom orange blooms offer a soft, unique texture.
  • Lemon Queen reaches 5–7 feet and forms large, branching plants with 8-inch flowers featuring lemon-yellow petals and deep brown centers.
  • Chocolate Cherry sunflowers stand 6–7 feet tall and display striking dark blooms with chocolate eyes and deep burgundy petals. These plants produce very little pollen, making them a favorite for cut-flower arrangements.
  • Black Russian is a classic giant sunflower variety reaching up to 10 feet tall. Its large, oil-rich seeds are excellent for bird feed or home use. Plants bear massive 8-inch blooms ideal for bold garden backdrops.
  • Mexican Sunflower (Tithonia), while not a true sunflower, is a bushy wildflower beloved by monarch butterflies. Its bright blooms help build soil fertility and add season-long color to borders and pollinator patches.

Why Customers Love the Sunflower Seed Collection:

  • Six complementary varieties for vibrant, multi-height garden displays
  • Attracts bees, butterflies, birds, and other beneficial pollinators
  • Includes cut-flower favorites, edible seed types, and container-friendly options
  • Easy to grow in full sun with minimal maintenance
  • Provides long-lasting color from compact borders to towering backdrops

How to Grow:
Sow sunflower seeds directly outdoors after the last frost. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Space plants according to variety, giving tall or branching types ample room to grow. Water regularly during early growth and drought periods. Support may be needed for very tall varieties like Black Russian. Mexican Sunflower can be started indoors or sown directly for a bushy, floriferous planting.

Bloom & Use:
Cut blooms for fresh arrangements, leave seed heads for birds, or harvest edible seeds from Black Russian plants. Use compact varieties in containers, place tall varieties at the back of borders, and mix colors for dramatic garden displays.

  • Sunflowers produce seeds that are a valuable food source for a variety of wildlife, including birds, squirrels, and other small mammals.
  • Sunflowers have deep root systems that help to improve soil quality by aerating the soil, improving drainage, and increasing nutrient levels.
  • Sunflowers can attract beneficial insects like ladybugs, which can help control harmful pests in the garden.
  • Additionally, harvesting and roasting sunflower seeds can be a tasty and healthy snack.

Sun Lovers

The best time to plant sunflower seeds is in the spring when the soil has warmed up and there is no longer a risk of frost. In most regions, this is typically around mid-April to early May.

You can plant the seeds directly in the ground, or you can start the seeds indoors in small containers and transplant them outside once they have developed into seedlings.

To plant sunflower seeds directly in the ground, loosen the soil to a depth of at least 6 inches. Sow seeds about 1 inch deep and 6-12 inches apart, and place one seed in each hole. Cover the seeds with soil and water thoroughly.

You can start seeds indoors in containers. Keep the containers in a warm, sunny location and water regularly. Once the seedlings have developed true leaves, they can be transplanted outdoors.

It's worth noting that sunflowers prefer full sun and well-drained soil, so choose a location that gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day and avoid areas with poor drainage.
