{"product_id":"tigers-eye-sunflower-mix","title":"Tiger's Eye Sunflower Mix","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlended over years by Richard Pecoraro of MASA Seed Foundation, Tiger’s Eye mix is an exciting feast for the eye. This multi-headed variety has a mix of single and double blooms with petal colors ranging from pale yellow to deep maroon - no two plants are alike! Sturdy 6-8 ft plants grow well even in hot, dry locations with lower soil fertility. Wonderful clustered along a fence or anywhere you want to attract birds, bees, and even hummingbirds. Black seeds are edible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertified Organic.

Dislodge the seeds by breaking apart the seedheads\/flowers. Use a strainer to sift out the larger chaff. Use your breath, wind, or fans to winnow off lighter weight chaff. Birds will likely start eating the seeds as they develop, so consider how much you'd like to leave for them, and how much you would like to save for yourself. Best harvested for seed during a dry spell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Green Things Farm Collective","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44572675473646,"sku":"FLO-042","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2406\/3467\/files\/20180718_102235.jpg?v=1704297208","url":"https:\/\/trueloveseeds.sbs\/products\/tigers-eye-sunflower-mix","provider":"Truelove Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
