EARTHWALKER SUNFLOWER SEEDS FOR PLANTING: 200 open-pollinated, non-GMO Helianthus annuus seeds in rust, copper, mahogany, and bronze tones. Multi-branching habit yields more blooms per plant for cutting gardens, borders, and pollinator beds, Zones 2–11. WARM FALL COLOR PALETTE: Unlike typical yellow sunflowers, Earthwalker blooms in orange, coppery brown, mahogany, rusty red, gold, and bronze. Dark center disks frame 4–6 in. flowers, carrying that warm color from midsummer to first frost. MULTI-BRANCHING HABIT, MORE BLOOMS PER PLANT: Earthwalker produces vigorous side branches rather than a single large head, so each plant delivers multiple 4–6 in. flowers. Ideal sunflower seeds to plant for cut flower bouquets and mixed arrangements. EASY DIRECT SOW AFTER LAST FROST: Sow sunflower seeds ½ in. deep outdoors once soil reaches 65°F. Thin seedlings to 18–24 in. apart when 4–6 in. tall. Avoid transplanting, as Earthwalker develops a deep taproot that resents disturbance. TALL BACKGROUND STRUCTURE: plants reach 6–8 ft. (180–240 cm.) tall, making Earthwalker an effective back-of-border accent, fence-line screen, or privacy planting. Space 18–24 in. apart in full sun for best branching and stem strength. POLLINATORS AND SONGBIRDS BOTH BENEFIT: Open flowers provide nectar and pollen for bees and butterflies during bloom. Leave spent seed heads standing in fall and they feed goldfinches, cardinals, chickadees, jays, and other seed-eating songbirds. HEAT AND DROUGHT TOLERANT ONCE ESTABLISHED: Adapts to most well-drained soils including poor or sandy types. Water moderately at first, then reduce. A practical choice for sunflower seeds for planting outdoors in warm, dry summers across Zones 2–11. SUCCESSION SOW FOR STAGGERED BLOOMS: for continuous color from midsummer to frost, sow sunflower planting seeds every two weeks until midsummer. Germination takes 7–14 days at 70–80°F, making Earthwalker a fast-establishing annual. OPEN-POLLINATED, NON-GMO SUNFLOWER SEEDS: Every seed is open-pollinated and non-GMO, so you can save seeds from your best plants season after season. Earthwalker breeds true, preserving its distinctive warm color palette for future plantings. VERSATILE GARDEN PLACEMENT: Use Earthwalker as a back-of-border focal point, wildflower meadow anchor, or cut flower garden centerpiece. Suitable for sunflower seeds garden beds, fence lines, and community plots across USDA Zones 2–11 in full sun.
