Peredovik Sunflower stands as the premier choice for serious seed producers and wildlife enthusiasts, renowned for its exceptional black oil seeds with superior meat content and elevated oil concentration. This tall branching variety produces abundant seed heads that attract diverse bird species—from songbirds to game birds—making it the preferred selection for dove hunting operations and wildlife feeding programs. The seeds' high oil content and nutritional density create unparalleled appeal across avian populations. Beyond wildlife applications, Peredovik seeds serve dual purposes as a commercial oil crop. The extracted sunflower oil exhibits a notably high smoke point, making it ideal for roasting, stir-frying, and deep-frying applications where elevated temperatures are essential. This versatility extends to food preservation and long-term storage scenarios, offering practical utility for homesteaders and preparedness-focused gardeners. The plants reach maturity in approximately 80 days with a germination rate of 60% or better. A distinctive natural defense mechanism activates as seed heads mature—they progressively invert, preventing birds from perching and consuming seeds prematurely. This architectural adaptation optimizes seed retention and harvest success. The prolific flowering attracts bees, butterflies, and essential pollinators, supporting broader ecosystem health. Planting density recommendations: 100 seeds cover approximately 10 square feet, with larger plots requiring 1 pound per 1,000 square feet or 40 pounds per acre. Our Non-GMO seeds are sustainably sourced, while our eco-conscious, reusable, and recyclable packaging reflects environmental commitment.
