Arikara Sunflower
Helianthus annuus
Conventionally Grown
A Native American heirloom originally grown by the Arikara tribe. Growing up to 10-12' tall, these single to multi-headed sunflowers produce an abundance of edible seed. Gorgeous shaggy golden petals evoke Van Gogh's famous impressionist paintings. Use as shade for cool-loving crops in the garden or add cheer to the back of borders.

Growing instructions
Sow sunflowers outdoors after last frost, until mid-June for autumnal blooms. Can be scattered or sowed in rows. Thin sunflowers to 8-12 inches apart for a dense wall. Tolerate dry conditions and require full sun. Cut blooms to encourage more flowers, or let the seeds mature (to save or to feed the birds).
