This might be a stupid question but I haven't grown very many sunflowers in my days up until this year, but is it common to have snow white seeds in a giant sunflower?
All the seeds that has ether been sent to me by other growers or ones that I grew myself have all been a dark color. All my sunflowers I grew this year where dark color but 1 plant. TheSunflower with the white seeds was grown off a dark seed. I guess this would be like giant pumpkin seed colors maybe?

Thanks all,
Brooks

There are a kinds that have white seeds. I have planted them before. My Craven sunflowers have both white and black seeds.

I had the same thing this year brooks-planted grey striped seed and got white seeds on my two biggest. In the past Ive had jet black seeds come grey striped when growing craven tall strain.
