  • Question
    I have some unhulled sunflower seeds. Should I hull them, or is that not my variety?

    Community Answer
    I would say that isn't your variety. I mean you can always try, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Also, rather than taking the chance, plant them in pots and they will grow in about 1-2 weeks!
