My seeds arrived from Anapolis Seeds, which is in Canada. \o/  Both of these are wildlife plants -- sunflowers for pollinators and birds, dill for swallowtail caterpillars.  Landrace sunflowers should be A) hardy and B) full of pollen and nectar.  It's hard to find good sunflowers for wildlife because so many are sterile florist varieties that are fuckall use in landscaping because they won't feed pollinators or set seed for birds.


Anapolis Seeds

Arikara Sunflower
Both single and multi heads on sturdy stalks ranging from 4 to 8 feet in height. Probably best described as a landrace, with seeds varying from black to grey displaying lots of diversity. 50 seeds (3 g)

Bouquet Dill
Compact plants, about 36" tall. An excellent dill grown primarily for leaf production. Also produces large seed heads in late summer, just in time for pickling season.

That's good to hear! I'm familiar with both of these. Bouguet dill grows around here.
