Germination:  82% April 2025 

approximately~ 25 seeds per packet  (Packed for 2025) 

The Ukraine sunflower, often symbolizing the country itself, is not just a national emblem but also a significant agricultural product. Ukraine is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of sunflower oil. Sunflowers are grown extensively across the country, flourishing in its fertile soil and temperate climate.

The sunflower has deep roots in Ukrainian culture and history, symbolizing warmth, energy, and life, much like the sun they are named after. They are known for their tall, sturdy stems, broad leaves, and large, round flower heads composed of bright yellow petals surrounding a dark brown or black center filled with seeds.

According to the National Sunflower Association, the story of sunflower (Helianthus annuus ) is indeed amazing. The wild sunflower is native to North America but commercialization of the plant took place in Russia. It was only recently that the sunflower plant returned to North America to become a cultivated crop. But it was the American Indian who first domesticated the plant into a single headed plant with a variety of seed colors including black, white, red, and black/white striped.

Sunflower was a common crop among Native Americans throughout North America. Evidence suggests that the plant was cultivated in present-day Arizona and New Mexico about 3000 BC. Some archaeologists suggest that sunflower may have been domesticated before corn.

Sunflower was used in many ways throughout the various American Indian tribes. Seed was ground or pounded into flour for cakes, mush or bread. Some tribes mixed the meal with other vegetables such as beans, squash, and corn. The seed was also cracked and eaten for a snack. There are references of squeezing the oil from the seed and using the oil in making bread.

Non-food uses include purple dye for textiles, body painting and other decorations. Parts of the plant were used medicinally ranging from snakebite to other body ointments. The oil of the seed was used on the skin and hair. The dried stalk was used as a building material. The plant and the seeds were widely used in ceremonies.

In addition to their economic importance, sunflowers hold symbolic significance in Ukraine, representing peace, resilience, and the strength of the Ukrainian people. During times of conflict or national struggle, the sunflower has emerged as a symbol of unity and hope for the country.

Planting and caring for Ukrainian sunflower seeds involves a process that can be broken down into several key steps. Sunflowers should be planted in the spring after the last frost has passed. They need a full sun location, meaning at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.  Pick a spot with well-draining soil and ample sunlight. Sunflowers are not picky about soil but perform best in slightly acidic to alkaline soil (pH 6.0 to 7.5). Loosen the soil to a depth of about 2 feet to accommodate the long taproots. Mix in a layer of compost to improve nutrient content, especially if the soil is poor. Proper care ensures healthy growth and maximizes the yield of sunflowers, whether they are grown for beauty, seeds, or oil production.

Plant seeds about 1 inch deep. The Zaria sunflower has a large head and seeds should be spaced one foot apart. Space the rows about 2 to 3 feet apart to allow room for growth. Water thoroughly after planting. Sunflowers need a lot of water to grow, especially during their growth spurt and leading up to flowering. Ensure they get about 2 inches of water per week, either from rainfall or supplemental watering.

When the sunflower grows tall it may need staking or support in windy locations to prevent the stems from bending or breaking. Sunflowers are heavy feeders. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time and possibly a second dose just before the plants begin to flower. While sunflowers are generally disease resistant, monitor for pests like aphids, and diseases such as rust or mildew. Use appropriate pest control methods or fungicides if necessary.

Sunflowers are ready to harvest when their back turns from green to yellow or brown, and the head begins to droop. Cut the stem with several inches of it attached to the head to hang and dry if desired.

Very lightweight but good everyday
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
These are great for everyday use. I use them under bowls when I microwave, to collect pieces of food that I’m going to throw away while I’m cooking. Good enough for toast or a microwaved muffin. They are lightweight and not meant for heavy amounts of food.

Consistent quality
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
This is the first time I’ve ordered this online and it is exactly what we have been using for years. We always use a plastic support and the plates themselves are flimsy. Good value. And easy to use. But I wouldn’t trust it to NOT leak.

Great non-toxic option for big families!
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased these several times. We have a big family and paper plates are just part of our norm right now. I was looking for something that doesn't have forever chemicals lining the plates. These are perfect. You can't carry around the plate. These are for putting on the table and putting food on them :) But that's what we needed them for !
