Black Russian Sunflowers
Black Russian Sunflowers produce oil-rich seeds that feed both humans and birds. Harvested seeds are used for growing microgreens and producing sunflower oil. These giants grow up to 10' tall and have 12-15" yellow blooms.
Mammoth Sunflowers
Mammoth Sunflowers tower above the rest of the garden, reaching 12' in height with a single 10-12" cheerful bloom with a yellow center and petals. These sunflowers can be planted to make a wonderful screen or border.
Sunflowers are beautiful and can add a bright and cheerful touch to any garden or landscape. They come in a variety of colors.
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.
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.

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.
