Sunflower Black Oil grows tall—up to 8 feet—with large 15 to 18-inch seed heads, making it a striking addition to any garden. This heirloom, non-GMO variety produces high-quality black seeds ideal for bird feed or oil pressing. Beyond seeds, the leaves serve as nutritious cattle fodder, and the sturdy stems provide fiber for paper production or dried firewood substitute. Offered by a family- and Veteran-owned company with a commitment to GMO-free seed quality since 2009, these seeds deliver reliable germination and versatile use for growers seeking a productive, multi-purpose sunflower. Seeds have approximately 70% or better germination rates. Harvest in about 80 days. This variety naturally attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, supporting garden biodiversity. As the head nears maturity, it turns downward—a natural defense mechanism that prevents birds from consuming all the seeds. For planting guidance, use 40 pounds per acre or 1 pound per 1000 square feet for smaller plots. One hundred seeds will cover a ten-foot square area, making this an economical choice for both homestead and commercial applications.
