Organic Mixed Giant Sunflower varieties harvested from flowers grown at Joni's Greenhouse. Seeds have been taken from a few of the best flowers with the rest of the seeds left for the squirrels, birds and mice with more scattered in abandoned or derelict land to hep the Bee's.
This mixture of seeds will give you a variety of bright, happy, summer flowers that always bring a smile when they are in full bloom. They are great for birds and pollinators, such as bees.
Sunflowers can absorb toxic heavy metal contaminants and poisonous chemicals in the soil. These include lead, arsenic, zinc, chromium, cadmium, copper and manganese. Pretty cool hey?
They are a tasty snack full of Vitamin E.
There are lots of research studies* on how these flowers take up chemical contaminants and help leave the soil healthier. They generally need to be planted en masse when used in this way. Even on a smaller scale in an urban backyard, this could be an easy way for you to have healthier soil.
