Peredovik sunflower is a warm-season annual broadleaf crop prized for wildlife food plots, pollinator support, and seed production. It produces tall plants with large seed heads that attract birds, deer, and beneficial insects. Sunflowers grow best in full sun and well-drained soils, and they are relatively tolerant of heat and dry conditions once established. Plant in spring after the danger of frost has passed into a clean, prepared seedbed. Peredovik sunflower is often used alone or in mixed plantings to add diversity, structure, and late-season food value.
