Johnsons 21024 Flower Seeds, Sunflower Black Magic F1, Dark Red

Product Information

Black sunflower has a thinner husk and a higher oil content compared to striped sunflower seed, and is therefore much more suitable for garden birds. The change from plastic sacks to paper a disaster as the carrier used rolls of tape to repair the torn sack.

Don't forget to also take a look at our Sunflower Hearts and Sunflower Heart Chips, which are ideal for smaller birds. If you’re concerned about any mess from discarded seed husks, we also provide Sunflower Hearts as an alternative.Compared to striped sunflower seeds, black sunflower seed for birds has a higher fat content and the husk is thinner, making it easier to remove by birds such as Greenfinch and Coal tit. With a naturally high oil content, as well as protein and other vitamins/minerals, black sunflower seeds provide wild birds with the fats and energy they need.

Black Sunflower Seeds 1043-M 1043-M Packed with oil and protein, Black Sunflower Seeds for birds are a cheaper, all year round alternative to peanuts. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out, May-June, 45cm (18") apart. Black Sunflower Seeds are also known for their unusually thin shells, which is an advantage for smaller birds as it's easier for them to crack the seed open and eat the goodness inside. Note that it’s absolutely critical to clear up dropped husks from the ground below the feeder, as the build-up of rotting husks can lead to birds becoming infected with Salmonella poisoning which can result in their death.Mr Fothergill’s sources our seeds and plants from reputable suppliers, ensuring that they meet the highest of standards.
