I bought a packet of multi-colored sunflower seeds this year. I don’t remember if they were from Wal*Mart or Home Depot or Lowes Hardware but the pack had a pretty picture on it. I didn’t know there was anything but ‘regular’ sunflowers. Since the garden expanded 3X this year (due to a tiller purchase) I had LOTS of space to plant any old thing I wanted! I planted these because my mom always grew sunflowers in her garden and I was amazed at how big they grew. These are not the kind you eat the seeds out of. The seeds are teeny tiny. They are just ornamental but the bugs and flies sure love them! When buying seeds don’t be a snob. I have found plenty of seed and flower packets at the Dollar stores around town at much lower prices than other places. And the seeds always sprouted just fine. Just saying folks….don’t be a snob.
