Seeds are displayed in trays and are measured out for purchase with a walnut shell, the same one that his father used. Friends visited Jere and his wife at their home, and after a couple of hours drinking homemade wine and brandy, exchanged seed. This massive sunflower comes from that evening. Growing ~15’ tall, with bright yellow flowers up to 18” across, this sunflower will stand guard over your garden and provide much discussion and laughter. They are just comically large!\u003cbr\u003e110 days.
