Growing Non-GMO Mammoth Grey Stripe Sunflower Flower Seeds
Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflower seeds are recommended mainly for outdoor growth because of their potential to reach 12 feet high. Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflowers give little reason to start seeds indoors due to their wildflower-like readiness to thrive. Sow directly outdoors after the final frost in a warm and sunny area of the garden and sheltered from strong winds. It is recommended to plant tall varieties of sunflowers on the north end of your garden. Plant 2-3 Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflower seeds per hole, spaced according to the suggestions.
Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflowers may need staking if plants are growing isolated and away from the support of a garden or if high winds are expected. Trim off the declining foliage as the summer progresses. Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflowers have average water requirements.

Harvesting Mammoth Grey Stripe Sunflower
Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflowers grow solid black edible seeds. Here are a few simple tips for easy seed collection: As soon as the flower petals fade, use a mesh sack that can be secured over the flower and cinch it over the flowerhead. For this variety, you may need to use a steady ladder to reach the large flower heads for collection. Over the next month, the seeds will mature and release into the bag!
These high-contrast blooms can be used as cut flowers for seasonal bouquets of joyful yellow. When they are in full bloom, snip off the stem with sharp scissors. Store in cool, clean water for indoor color for 1-2 weeks. For dried flowers, tie a few stems together with a rubber band and hang them upside down in a well-ventilated area for 2-3 weeks!
