Hopi Black Dye Sunflower

High Mowing Organic Seeds Packet

High Mowing sold this variety in their very first catalog, and they are bringing it back in part to complete the circle of the journey, and in part because it's a great variety. Like High Mowing, it's scrappy and resilient and does a lot with a little, where the seeds are good for dye but also for food or feed, and are the best for de-hulling. The massive tall flowers are classically sunflower beautiful, with yellow rays around purple-black centers. Grown for countless generations, this variety will almost certainly still be used to make dye a hundreds years from now. Approx. 30 seeds/pkt.
