Organic Soraya Sunflower
4 to 5' tall
70 days to harvest
Helianthus annuus
Description
We love the strong, stout stems of Soraya that easily sport 20-25 flower heads per plant. Each 4-6″ bloom is held on long, sturdy stalks perfect for bouquets. We love to sow Soraya along fences, feeding abundant butterflies (including Monarchs!) and other beneficial pollinators.
And did you know sunflower petals are edible? Just imagine your salads next summer!
At Fruition, we sow organic sunflower seeds directly into the soil after final frost.
