again from the same company, tm seeds. they sprouted 12 days after being planted, not bad. the packet said they would need 7-21 days to sprout.
it think i did a good job! i did a lot of site planning beforehand and dug a 2 feet deep hole, 3 feet across. i think this specific plant will do very well. i planted them against a fence so they do get a bit of shade. but they still get sunlight, and direct sunlight in the afternoon. ive read they grow in clumps, i already got 3 sprouts. this plant is a cross between helianthus paucilforus and helianthus tuberosus. the roots and flowers are edible i think, when they are cooked.
i dont plan on eating it though. the best part is the plant is a perennial.
