birdfeedingMy order from Siskiyou Seeds arrived on Wednesday. The sunflowers are advertised as attracting birds, so they should be fertile -- producing pollen, nectar, and seeds -- rather than barren like varieties marketed to florists.
Siskiyou Seeds

Also known as ‘Indian Blanket’, this is a short-lived perennial or annual noted for its brilliant, daisy-like flowers.

Flowers appear in summer and are 2-3 in across and are held upon 18-36 in light green stems. Indian blanket grows in 14-24 in high mounds. A popular wildflower. SSF.
