Each head is then taken to the barn and hung on drying racks before packaged. By the time the bagged product reaches you, each Sunfollower Sunflower head has been handled at least three times. The Brand's have been at their current location for over 30 years. Our Sunfollower Sunflowers, as well as our other products, were all planted by Richard and Bill. When the birds find your Sunfollower S unflower head, it won't take them long to pick it clean.
Some folks simply discard the heads and place another order for several more bags.
Others have told us that you can spread peanut butter over the empty head, then dip it in a bag of bird feed to make your own bird feeder. I don't have a place to feed my birds, but I like sunflowers. Our heads are well beyond the point that they have their bright yellow leaves. However, they are still attractive for decorating with natural arrangements like sconces and grape vine wreaths. Some folks have told us they've even made dried Sunfollower Sunflower bouquets for fall table decorations at harvest parties and Thanksgiving celebrations.
