Add timeless beauty to your garden with Botanical Interests' Goldy Honey Bear Sunflower Seeds. These 5'–6' multi-branching sunflowers feature thick stalks that stand tall without staking and dazzling 5″–7″ golden-yellow, fully double blooms. The flowers reveal green centers that turn brown as they mature, creating a Van Gogh-inspired display. Nearly pollenless and long-blooming from summer to frost, these sunflowers are perfect for floral arrangements and make a vibrant border or screen. Edible petals add a pop of color to salads and desserts, while the artichoke-like buds are a unique culinary treat when grilled, marinated, or sautéed.
