About This

• WHAT'S IN THE PACK? This 2-pack contains 400 Earthwalker Sunflower seeds total, with 200 seeds per envelope. Earthwalker is an open-pollinated, non-GMO Helianthus annuus variety producing warm-toned blooms on tall, multi-branching plants suited to cutting gardens, borders, and pollinator plantings.
• WHAT COLORS DO EARTHWALKER SUNFLOWERS COME IN? Earthwalker blooms in orange, coppery brown, mahogany, rusty red, gold, and bronze. Dark center disks contrast with 4–6 in. flowers, bringing warm color from midsummer to first frost.
• HOW MANY FLOWERS DOES EACH PLANT PRODUCE? Earthwalker grows vigorous side branches instead of a single large head, so each plant delivers multiple 4–6 in. flowers. That makes these sunflower seeds ideal for cut flower bouquets and mixed arrangements.
• HOW AND WHEN SHOULD I PLANT THE SEEDS? Direct sow ½ in. deep outdoors after the last frost once soil reaches 65°F. Thin seedlings to 18–24 in. apart when they reach 4–6 in. tall. Direct sowing is preferred because sunflowers develop a deep taproot that can be disturbed by transplanting.
• HOW TALL DO THE PLANTS GROW? Earthwalker grows 6–8 ft. tall, making it suitable for back-of-border plantings, fence-line screens, and tall garden accents. Space plants 18–24 in. apart and grow in full sun.
• DO THEY ATTRACT POLLINATORS AND BIRDS? Yes. Open flowers provide nectar and pollen for bees and butterflies during bloom. Leave spent seed heads standing in fall to feed goldfinches, cardinals, chickadees, jays, and other seed-eating songbirds.
• WILL THEY HANDLE HEAT, DROUGHT, OR POOR SOIL? Earthwalker is heat and drought tolerant once established and adapts to most well-drained soils, including poor or sandy types. Water moderately at first, then reduce. A practical choice for warm, dry summers across Zones 2–11.
• HOW CAN I EXTEND THE BLOOM SEASON? Succession sow every two weeks until midsummer for staggered blooms from midsummer into fall. Seeds germinate in 7–14 days at 70–80°F.
• CAN I LEAVE THE SEED HEADS ON THE PLANTS? Yes. Mature Earthwalker seed heads can be left standing through fall to provide food for goldfinches, cardinals, chickadees, jays, and other seed-eating songbirds. Earthwalker is an open-pollinated, non-GMO variety.
• WHERE SHOULD I USE EARTHWALKER IN MY GARDEN? Use it as a back-of-border focal point, wildflower meadow anchor, or cut flower garden centerpiece. It suits garden beds, fence lines, and community plots across USDA Zones 2–11 in full sun.
