Hopi Black Dye Sunflower Organic Seeds

Hopi Black Dye Sunflower – Organic, Non-GMO Seeds

• Natural dye source
• 7-11 feet tall
• Heirloom variety
• 95 days to maturity

A Hopi heirloom prized for its purple-black seeds, used especially for coloring baskets. High Mowing sold this variety in our very first catalog, and we’re bringing it back in part to complete the circle of our journey, and in part because it’s a great variety. Like us, it’s scrappy and resilient and does a lot with a little, where the seeds are good for dye but also for food or feed, and are the best for de-hullling. The massive tall flowers are classically sunflower beautiful, with yellow rays around purple-black centers. Grown for countless generations, this variety will almost certainly still be used to make dye a hundreds years from now.

Gardener’s Supply is offering these seeds through our partnership with High Mowing Organic Seeds, a small Vermont company that produces and develops the best quality, 100% organic seeds. Varieties have been selected for their exceptional performance. When you buy organic seed, you have the assurance that the seed was grown without synthetic chemicals and you are supporting farms and companies that are committed to organic agriculture.
