Growing Information
Direct seeding (recommended). Sow ½ inch deep after the last frost. Seed spacing, water, and soil health will determine size and height. Tighter spacing will produce shorter and smaller flowers.
Plant seeds every 2 inches in a row. I plant 4 rows 10 inches apart. This usually yields a smaller flower.
If grown with larger spacing, fertilizer and ample water some have gotten 10 ft. tall with faces the size of my head
Transplant: Sow ½ inch deep in trays 2 to 3 weeks prior to planting out.
Germination: 7 to 14 days at 70F to 75F.
What is included in the Van Gogh’s Fantasy Seed Mix?
There are approximately 25 seeds in a packet. However, since this is a mix, the seed sizes vary greatly so you may get more than 25 since they are packaged by weight and not seed count.

What your purchase does.
Your purchase will make it possible for us to continue to strive to breed amazing new sunflowers for years to come.
Also, portions of the proceeds will help us to make necessary updates and repairs to our family’s Christian Youth Summer Camp, Crosswoods Adventure Camp.
By doing so, we are creating an environment for youth to grow in their faith, surrounded by the beauty of God's creation in forests of Northern Wisconsin.
I share the whole story about how these seeds and the camp are intertwined with Jess from Roots & Refuge Farms on her YouTube Channel. I would love for you to know Jess and hear the story of Van Goh’s Fantasy.
