Everwilde Farms - 1 oz Sawtooth Sunflower Native Wildflower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

Pretty reddish stems and serrated leaves set this native sunflower apart. The flower heads on this perennial are much smaller than domesticated sunflower varieties, but they still produce a crop of sunflower seeds that are quickly consumed by resident songbirds. Sunflowers were named for their habit of turning their faces to the sun. At the beginning of the development they exhibit heliotropism, or following the sun in its course from east to west, though the mature blossoms usually end up facing straight east. These are said to be the happiest of flowers, and in the language of flowers they symbolize loyalty and constancy.
