FAQ

Hybrid sunflower varieties are created by crossing two distinct parent lines to produce offspring with desirable traits such as higher yield, disease resistance, or specific oil content.

The "best" variety depends on your purpose. For oil production, 'Sunbright' and 'Sunrich' are popular. For eating, 'Mammoth Russian' and 'Snack Seed' are favored. For ornamental purposes, 'Moulin Rouge' and 'Autumn Beauty' are well-liked.

Hybrid sunflowers typically have higher yields than open-pollinated varieties. Depending on conditions, hybrid sunflowers can yield 1,500-2,500 pounds per acre, sometimes even more.

Sunflower seeds are generally graded based on size, oil content, and quality. Common grades include confectionery grade (for eating) and oil grade (for oil extraction).

Hybrid sunflower seed production involves crossing two genetically distinct inbred lines. One line is used as the male (pollen donor) and the other as the female (seed producer). This is often done in isolated fields to prevent unwanted cross-pollination.

The three main types are:

  1. Oilseed (for oil production)
  2. Confectionery (for eating)
  3. Non-oilseed (primarily for birdseed)

For both planting and eating, 'Mammoth Russian' and 'Sunspot' are popular choices. 'Black Oil' sunflowers are great for bird feed and can also be eaten by humans.

'Sunspot' and 'Elf' are known for their quick growth, often blooming within 60-65 days after planting.

Raw, unsalted sunflower seeds are generally considered the healthiest. They're rich in vitamin E, selenium, and healthy fats.

'Mammoth Russian' and 'Mongolian Giant' are known for producing very large seeds and flower heads.
