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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"610\" data-end=\"688\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"610\" data-end=\"648\"\u003eApproximately 15–20 seeds per gram\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"648\" data-end=\"651\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"651\" data-end=\"688\"\u003eApproximately 15 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"719\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"719\"\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"868\"\u003eTropics: April to August (dry season)\u003cbr data-start=\"758\" data-end=\"761\"\u003eSubtropics: August to January\u003cbr data-start=\"790\" data-end=\"793\"\u003eMild climates: September to January\u003cbr data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"831\"\u003eCold climates: Spring to early summer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"891\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"891\"\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"893\" data-end=\"1332\"\u003eDirect 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1334\" data-end=\"1458\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1334\" data-end=\"1458\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/EdenSeeds_ACO_ACOCertifiedOrganic.jpg?v=1761179582\" alt=\"Certified Organic\" style=\"width: 177px; height: 95px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46649650512090,"sku":null,"price":4.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/V_Sunflower_GiantRussian_b10a8924-82f3-495d-82ba-30cb442690d9.jpg?v=1770864182","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/sunflower-giant-russian-1479","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
