We want to make sure that everyone uses the same variety of sunflower. Sunflowers come in all shapes and sizes and there are even varieties that don't produce any pollen. If they don't have pollen, bees can't get their nutritional needs met from these plants.
You can buy seeds from American Meadows
There are a variety of companies and projects that are using the same type of seeds that we are. If you get a seed packet from any of these groups, you can make your counts on those flowers and pass your seeds on to someone new.

But where can I buy more of these seeds?
"Sunflower seed sources"...the title of this page is misleading.
I want to fill my yard in SF. Who actually SELLS this seed online?
Please add link or info to reseller or supplier and specific name of seed.
Thanks. -d

What's happening to this project? Where can you buy seeds? As the person above requested...who actually SELLS this seed. Please add link or info to purchase and specific name of seed. I was all excited about this project but slowly am losing steam.
