🌻 🦋 Harvest from 3-6" or just before the first true leaves emerge. Sunflower shoots can be eaten fresh, added to salads, used as a garnish, or used in a wide variety of dishes. This seed should be sown directly outdoors, since the long roots of this plant need space to develop and dislike being disturbed. In late spring after the soil has warmed to 70-75 degrees F, plant several seeds together 1" deep and 6" apart in rich, well drained soil; the seeds will begin to germinate in 8-10 days.
☀️ 💦 Wonderful addition to your home flower garden! Seeds are mild and nutty flavor! Water the seedlings occasionally as they develop. Mature plants tolerate drought well, though they may need regular fertilizing for the best growth.
🌱 🌻 For fresh flowers, cut the stems 1 1/2-2 feet in length and at an angle of 45 degrees. Strip off any leaves that will fall below the water level; place the stems in water immediately. For the longest vase life, recut the stems and replace the water every three days. To save the seeds for eating, first cover the heads with a protective fabric covering such as cheesecloth to discourage the birds and squirrels.

About Our Name
Isla's Garden Seeds
Isla (pronounced Eye-Luh) is the youngest in our family. We named our company after her because she is the anchor for the six of us, filling our home with a playful, vibrant, colorful joy, akin to a garden. If you've purchased seeds since the formation of our business in 2017, you may have received a rare packet with her photo on the front.
