Standfast Sunflower Seeds
The mountain moves, swaying gently until shape takes form. A grand and watchful guardian calls to those it protects, sending a wave of peaceful happiness across the land it observes. It is one and many at the same time, unifying its cause. Mutual solidarity echoes through the hills.
This tall, 5-6 foot tall sunflower has large golden hues in a traditional orange-yellow. It’s large, soft petals and wide heads are a beacon to pollinators and birds. We find bumblebees sleeping on their nodding heads overnight, passed out in a buffet of nectar.
Each packet contains approximately 18 Standfast Sunflower seeds.
