{"product_id":"henry-wilde-sunflower","title":"Henry Wilde Sunflower","description":"\u003cp\u003eA towering 19th-century heirloom variety that reaches an impressive 7-10 feet. An abundance of 6-10” sunny yellow blooms branch out at the top, unlike other tall sunflowers such as Giant Gray or Black Russian. Long stems are great for cutting or planting for their height; use along borders and fences—a great source of pollen and nectar for pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e20 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(50, 113, 56);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelianthus annuus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnnual \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 7-14 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 70-75ºF.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Planting Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sow ½-1” deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStarting Indoors:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStart indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
