    Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 3 reviews.

    Almost 100% fertile - I may have had a seed or two that didn't sprout. Description says 5-6 ft, but I have several that are 8-9 ft tall, all with 8-12 blooms on them. They are gorgeous, they make me smile, and they attract all sorts of bees and pollinators to my vegetable garden!

    I was looking for Henry Wilde sunflower seeds and the web site said they were sold out.I called and the woman told me that they would be in later in the month, to check the website then. I checked back and they were there and I ordered them online no hassle. I buy from Eden every spring, love it!
