Black Oil Sunflower

Black Oiled Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an heirloom variety prized for both oil production and bird feed. With a blooming period of about three weeks, these sunflowers produce seed-filled heads that can be harvested once mature and hung in trees to attract a wide range of birds. This small-seeded variety is known for drawing the greatest diversity of bird species to your feeders. Additionally, it makes a fantastic microgreen, ready to harvest in just 8 to 12 days. Open-pollinated, Black Oiled Sunflower is a versatile and valuable addition to any garden.

This is the small seeded variety.
