As microgreens black oil sunflower is the bomb-dot-com. We source most of our Black Oil Sunflower from Italy and harvesting, cleaning and shipping the seed can occassionally cause our shipment (many tons) to be delayed. To further complicate matters, the shipment is delayed clearing customs and we won't be surprised if it takes another month for it to arrive. As you know, black oil sunflower is a smallish seed with a pure black shell, and our Italian grower has consistently delivered outstanding quality seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the delay, we found two other suppliers offering what they billed as black oil sunflower. We bought everything available from these two suppliers only to find that they both shipped us seed clearly from the same original source that did not meet our standards, first it had a white stripe. (see the picture above) The seed is the same small size as Black Oil Sunflower, but we haven't seen the stripe before on Black Oil, so we don't feel comfortable billing it as \"Black Oil\" so we are just calling it \"sunflower\". \u003cstrong\u003eAdditionally\u003c\/strong\u003e, there are signs of minor insect activity (note the insect bore-holes in some of the seeds pictured above).

Directly sow these seeds as soon as the soil temperature gets to a consistent 45-50F. Bury seeds 0.5 inches deep and 12 inches apart. For earlier blooms, start the seeds inside 3-4 weeks before your last frost. Transplant them outdoors after a gradual transition. Plant the seeds or seedlings in well-draining soil with full sun. The seeds should sprout in approximately 4-14 days and then shoot upward quickly enough that you can watch the progression. Avoid keeping sunflowers indoors for very long. Because of their taproot habit sunflowers prefer being directly sown outdoors rather than being started indoors, although it is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese multi-branching annuals will not persist when exposed to a hard frost but can self-seed to send another generation for next year if the seeds are not collected or consumed; this is especially true for areas with mild winters. Yet, there is no need to be concerned about volunteers becoming noxious; these decorative sunflowers aren’t weedy or dangerous to local populations.
