Zohar Organic sunflower seeds are perfect for spring and summer planting. Rich orange petals surround a dark brown centre on these 10-15cm (4-6") wide, flowers. Single, pollen-less flowers are borne on sturdy stems to a height of 1.5m (5'), making them superb for florists and market growers. Mark has grown Zohar sunflower seeds at our Kirkland House demonstration garden for years, and they are always a standout favourite for visitors. The intensely golden petals look just like little flames licking around the inner disk. While the flowers do not produce pollen, they do produce lots of nectar, so the bees love this variety. Be aware that Zohar is an F1 hybrid, so it does not produce viable seeds.
