| I've ordered from both of the following, and have been satisfied with the service. I haven't grown out the seeds yet. howarddill.com pandpseed.com If ordering from howarddill.com, I'd recommend ordering sooner, than later, as it took a little while for the order to arrive here in MN. I think the seeds go through an inspection, before crossing the Canadian border. Douglas |

| Velvet queen is not a giant sunflowers, it's an ornamental red sunflower that is usually about 6 feet with multiple blooms. You can buy velvet queen at most garden centers that have a descent seed selection. Most commerical online seed catalogs carry velvet queen as well. The common russian mammoth is sold by almost every seed company and can be found everywhere; from walmart, k-mart, home depot, etc. Russian Mammoths grow anywhere between 7 to 12 feet tall or more, depending on the brand. Skyscraper is a commercial variety sold by Ferry Morse. It's a pretty good variety if you are looking to get a big sunflower. They usually average close to 12 feet. They aren't the biggest, but they are pretty consistent. |
