(all three) but probably not from £shop. They'd be birdfeed.
The black seeds are mostly grown for oil I think, they yield more than stripey ones.Location - Leicestershire - Chisit-land

In a glass jar, half fill with seed then soak in water for few hours, then drain .rinse them once a day. The seeds spout really quick .

Sorry, Ms-T, it was just too good to resist. I've had them grow from birdfood, they're like regular sunflowers, but don't grow much above 6 feet, in my garden at least, and have one big flower per stem.Originally posted by Ms-T View PostHa ha ,I asked for that yes they are the bird seed ones..What I meant was has any one grown them and are they the ones with 1 big flower head or lots of little ones.I spout them for the chickens .now my head hurts
I buy sunflower hearts now, without shells, for the birds, and the dropped ones seem to grow just as happily as the seeds still in their shells, and if anyone is wondering, sunflower hearts make stripey seed.Location - Leicestershire - Chisit-land

Had a 6'+ sunflower from cockatiel mix which has striped seed. Also had a c@nn@bis plant from bird seed, nice foliage plant which eventually shredded and composted.Riddlesdown (S Croydon)Comment
