Thanks Marcella! I knew you probably had unearthed whatever there was to be had on the subject!

I grew some Mammoth ones last year and they were awesome. They produced the kind of seeds that you can eat - gray striped. I’ll need to look into getting the “Black Oil” Sunflower for next year, as well as the “Sunspot.”

“Thanks Marcella! I knew you probably had unearthed whatever there was to be had on the subject!”

There are people across the world, including Russia, who have developed hybrid strains of Sunflowers. That is the actual business some companies have - new strains of Sunflowers. That must be easy to do and those who do it have done it for many years.

When Johnny said he grew Sunflowers, I knew there had to be a reason because he doesn’t grow anything he can’t eat. When I started reading about them, I found the whole world of Sunflowers. I had not expected to find so much information.
