Product Information

Black Sunflower Seeds contain around 40% oil meaning they are highly nutritional for birds and help promote healthy feathers and beaks.

They'll likely leave these beneath your feeders, so if you'd like to have a little less mess in your garden then try Sunflower Hearts or Sunflower Chips. Black Sunflower guarantees to attract a variety of birds to your garden, particularly Finches, and Siskins.Still waiting for a couple to flower fully, but they are so easy to grow and loads of seeds in the packet. Please note that some postcode areas that are classed as Scottish Islands and Highlands may take 2-3 working days to arrive.

Black Sunflower Seeds are a favourite food among many garden birds as they are an excellent source of energy and nutrients, perfect for keeping our feathered friends healthy all year round. Birds love variety, so why not try creating some mixes of your own, or if you make home-made fat cakes for your birds add some Black Sunflowers to give your birds a real energy filled treat. However, you shouldn’t give it in generous amounts as they are high in fat, and unlike wild birds, chickens don’t dart around all day to burn this fat off.Plant the seeds no more than an inch deep and about 6 inches apart – make the rows about 30 inches apart.

Almost any bird that visits a bird feeder will readily eat black oil sunflower seeds, and studies have shown that, given a choice of seeds, more species of birds will choose black oil sunflower seeds over any other food that is offered. Wild birds absolutely love black sunflower seeds and it is easy to see why – they are bursting with great nutrition that keeps them healthy.

Our farming systems mean that we improve the soil we work on, and help people with additional needs to reach employment through training and work support on-site. This is why we’ve specially selected these black sunflower seeds for the high oil content — so birds can benefit the most. Black Sunflowers are a popular and versatile seed which is why you will see them in many of our mixes.
