{"product_id":"vanilla-ice-sunflower-seeds","title":"Sunflower Seed - Vanilla Ice","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Vanilla Ice' brings a creamy, light yellow color to the garden and your tabletop arrangement. Sweet 3\"–5\" flowers bloom on multi-branched, 5' tall plants that are lovely in a moonlit garden. Sunflowers are practically care-free, very easy to grow, and provide months of color. Sunflowers are edible, with a bittersweet flavor. The petals add a pretty pop of color ion salads and desserts. The young, sunflower buds are edible, with a flavor similar to artichoke hearts. They can be grilled, marinated, or sauteed for an unusual appetizer or side dish. Drought tolerant once established, and pollinators love them! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFamily:\u003c\/b\u003e Asteraceae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunflower (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/blogs\/sowing-guides\/sunflower-sow-and-grow-guide\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn more\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNative:\u003c\/b\u003e North America\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e Annual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExposure:\u003c\/b\u003e Full sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Period:\u003c\/b\u003e Summer to frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlant Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 5' tall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVariety Info:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\"–5\" wide, creamy, light yellow flowers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAttributes:\u003c\/b\u003e Attracts Pollinators, Cut Flower, Drought Tolerant, Heat Tolerant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to Sow Outside:\u003c\/b\u003e RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to Start Inside:\u003c\/b\u003e 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date.
