Sunflower seeds are one of the easier seeds to collect. When
dry, the seeds will pop right out. Kids especially love gathering
sunflower seeds. Like other seeds, they should be spread out and
allowed to dry before storing them loosely in paper bags.
Be sure the plants you are collecting from originally came
from open pollinated, not hybred seeds or the seeds may be sterile or not
produce plants true to form. When packaging
the large seeds, only place 5-6 in each each package.
