Seeds may also be used for food or feed, and this is the best variety for dehulling. 7-11 ft. stalks with 5-13 in. heads, mostly poly-headed. Yellow rays surround attractive purple-green centers. Adapted to cool, high desert areas, but can be grown elsewhere.

Hopi people have traditionally used Hopi Black Dye sunflowers to make a dye for cotton, wool and basketry. Colors derived include maroon-red, deep maroon, dark purple, deep lavender, medium blue and black dye.

So pretty!

I grew this as part of my Hopi tribute garden.
This sunflower creates multiple flowers per stalk and it is favorite among pollinators and birds.
I will be using these seeds as a dye because I enjoy experimenting.

I will be planting more of these next year!
