Description

Peredovik sunflowers are an annual crop-type sunflower that grow 4-5’ tall with large yellow flowers. These sunflowers are a very popular species for game birds food plots that produce ripe seed in 90-120 days after planting. They provide good cover for hunters while the small, black seed attract dove, quail and turkey.
