This sunflower has been specially cultivated for the professional production of sunflower oil, but... as an ornamental plant, this variety also impresses! Furthermore, it is a popular variety for growing young shoots as sunflower sprouts. With normal nutrition, they can grow up to 2m, and if you put in extra effort, 3m is definitely possible. This variety gives a field a high "Van Gogh factor"! In Southern Europe (from the line of central France) and other countries around the Mediterranean, sunflowers are widely grown for oil. This variety offers a high oil content. But: what about an alternative hedge...? Spent flowers droop and are a delicacy for birds in autumn; hulled seeds are also a healthy snack for us!
