    Moonshine 5/5

    Sunflower Seeds - Moonshine

    Very easy to grow--even when planted late. Grew fast and strong--making a beautiful display on our farm. I will make this variety a staple in my sunflower garden for years to come.

    Sunflower Seeds - Moonshine

    This sunflower is one of the most beautiful sunflowers I have ever grown as a commercial cutflower grower. The form and tightness of the pedals hold tightly even after cutting for mixed bouquets. The pale yellow is very striking next to all other sunflower colors. The flowers grow in clusters and many branches on the plant. The plants are bushy and incredibly prolific and vigorous and hold up well to all types of weather. I will grow this variety for many years to come.
