I planted the maximillian and was disappointed because althought the
display was pretty it only lasted for a week. It took forever to grow. I
forgot what it was and was anxious to see what would bloom.
I have picked out all the sunflower seeds from my birdfood mix that I
got by mistake. I don't feed my pet birds sunflower seeds because of the
fat.
The seeds are grey with white stipe on them. I plan to plant them next
year. Does anyone know what type of sunflower I can expect? I will feed
the sunflower seeds to the wild birds when they develope seed.
