The Mill Mammoth Russian Sunflower Seed

As the name suggests, this variety is known for its impressive stature. You can expect them to reach significant heights, often towering well above six feet, so be sure to plant them in a spot where they won't shade out smaller, sun-loving plants.

Yes, they are. These produce the classic grey-striped seeds that are excellent for roasting and snacking. Just be sure to harvest them once the flower head begins to dry and droop.

This variety typically reaches maturity in about 80 days. From the time you plant your seeds, you can expect to see those large, golden blooms in just under three months.
