Sunflower Giant Russian Organic Seeds
$4.40
Unit price perHelianthus annuus
Giant Russian is a classic heirloom sunflower that grows 2.5–3 metres tall and produces enormous flower heads up to 30 cm across. Native to the Americas, sunflowers have long been valued for their beauty, edible seeds and high-quality oil. This impressive variety makes a striking feature in the garden, provides valuable nectar for bees and other pollinators, and produces seed heads that are enjoyed by birds and can be harvested for roasting or sprouting. Its deep root system also helps improve soil structure by aerating the ground and drawing nutrients from deeper soil layers.
Approximately 15–20 seeds per gram
Approximately 15 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to August (dry season)
Subtropics: August to January
Mild climates: September to January
Cold climates: Spring to early summer
Planting / Sowing
Direct sow seed 20–25 mm deep into fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 45–60 cm apart. Sunflowers thrive in warm weather and tolerate hot, dry conditions once established, although regular watering during flowering will encourage larger blooms. Harvest flowers from around 60–75 days, or allow seed heads to fully mature before collecting seeds for eating, sprouting or saving.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
