Hey Treetop, Those are all good strains to grow giant heads. Take those seeds and grow a few different varieties together and they will cross pollinate usually resulting in stronger seed. Save the seed from the middle of the flower as they have always worked best for me. Steve

Sunflower seeds seem to keep quite well. I recently grew some dating from 1997.
