Wild Sunflower Wildflower Seed Specifications

 

Wild Sunflower produces numerous 3 to 6 inch flower heads on branching stems and should not be confused with the many large hybrid sunflowers used in bird seed. Native to dry plains, prairies, meadows and foothills in the western U. S., Canada and northern Mexico, Wild Sunflower is a coarse, hairy, leafy, fast-growing annual that typically grows 3' to 9’ tall on stiff branching, upright stalks. The species is commonly seen growing along roads, fences, fields and in waste areas west of the Mississippi River and is the state flower of Kansas. It is native to Missouri, primarily in the northern part of the State. Wild Helianthus annuus plants feature 3 - 6” wide sunflowers with orange-yellow rays and brown to purple center disks. Flowers bloom in summer. Annual. Easily grown in average, moist, well-drained soils in full sun from wildflower seed. Wild Sunflower tolerates poor soils that are on the dry side. Plant Wild Sunflower seed in the garden after last frost date. One of the easiest wild flowers in the world to grow from seed. Grows great in meadows where you can just throw out the seed and let mother nature do the rest.
