{"product_id":"sunflower-wildflower-seeds-bright-star-orange","title":"Bright Star Orange Sunflower Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are sunflowers, and then there's \u003cstrong\u003eBright Star Orange\u003c\/strong\u003e. This standout cultivar grows 6 to 8 feet tall and throws blooms up to 11 inches wide: deep, golden petals radiating outward in a long-pointed, spider mum–like form around a warm ochre-brown center. It's unusual enough to stop people mid-stride, but it grows as easily as any sunflower you've ever planted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it's a \u003cstrong\u003ebranching variety\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eopen-pollinated\u003c\/strong\u003e, Bright Star Orange works overtime. Rather than putting everything into one towering stem, it branches freely and keeps sending up \u003cstrong\u003enew blooms from midsummer well into fall.\u003c\/strong\u003e That open-pollinated status also means the seeds it drops, and the ones you save, will come back true the following season if you let them. Just real seeds doing what seeds do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wildlife value is real and generous. While it's blooming, the flowers draw\u003cstrong\u003e bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds\u003c\/strong\u003e with reliable nectar and pollen (this is not a pollenless cut-flower type; it gives back). When the season winds down, leave a few heads standing rather than cutting everything back. Goldfinches, sparrows, and other seed-eating birds will work through them all winter. It's an easy way to make your garden pull double duty: beautiful in July and a food source in December.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant Bright Star Orange at the back of a border, along a fence line, or massed together for a wall of color that's hard to match late in summer. It pairs beautifully with other warm-toned annuals and holds its own in a cut flower arrangement. Stems last 7 to 14 days in a vase when cut in the morning just before the bloom fully opens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Meadows","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":49501354754287,"sku":"AM028176","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1\/4 Pound","offer_id":49501354787055,"sku":"AM019437","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Pound","offer_id":49501354819823,"sku":"AM019442","price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Pounds","offer_id":49501354852591,"sku":"AM019447","price":584.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 Pounds","offer_id":49501354885359,"sku":"AM019452","price":1129.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/9535\/6399\/files\/helianthus-annuus-sunflower-bright-star-flower.jpg?v=1781537223","url":"https:\/\/www.americanmeadows.com\/products\/sunflower-wildflower-seeds-bright-star-orange","provider":"American Meadows","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
