Developed in the Soviet Union and released commercially in 1960, Peredovik was once one of the most widely grown sunflower varieties in the world. Nearly 3 million acres were reportedly grown in the Soviet Union alone. When introduced to North America, its oil content substantially exceeded that of many commonly grown cultivars, helping spur a major expansion in sunflower production. The variety also became known for dependable yields and improved resistance to several important diseases and pests, including rust, Verticillium wilt, and broomrape.
Although modern hybrids eventually replaced it in large-scale commercial production, this historic variety remains popular with gardeners, conservationists, hunters, and bird enthusiasts. It is a dependable choice for anyone looking for an easy-to-grow sunflower that provides both ornamental value and an abundant source of oil-rich seed for wildlife. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.
