Germination:  82% April 2025 

approximately~ 25 seeds per packet  (Packed for 2025) 

The Ukraine sunflower, often symbolizing the country itself, is not just a national emblem but also a significant agricultural product. Ukraine is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of sunflower oil. Sunflowers are grown extensively across the country, flourishing in its fertile soil and temperate climate.

The sunflower has deep roots in Ukrainian culture and history, symbolizing warmth, energy, and life, much like the sun they are named after. They are known for their tall, sturdy stems, broad leaves, and large, round flower heads composed of bright yellow petals surrounding a dark brown or black center filled with seeds.

According to the National Sunflower Association, the story of sunflower (Helianthus annuus ) is indeed amazing. The wild sunflower is native to North America but commercialization of the plant took place in Russia. It was only recently that the sunflower plant returned to North America to become a cultivated crop. But it was the American Indian who first domesticated the plant into a single headed plant with a variety of seed colors including black, white, red, and black/white striped.

Sunflower was a common crop among Native Americans throughout North America. Evidence suggests that the plant was cultivated in present-day Arizona and New Mexico about 3000 BC. Some archaeologists suggest that sunflower may have been domesticated before corn.

Sunflower was used in many ways throughout the various American Indian tribes. Seed was ground or pounded into flour for cakes, mush or bread. Some tribes mixed the meal with other vegetables such as beans, squash, and corn. The seed was also cracked and eaten for a snack. There are references of squeezing the oil from the seed and using the oil in making bread.

Non-food uses include purple dye for textiles, body painting and other decorations. Parts of the plant were used medicinally ranging from snakebite to other body ointments. The oil of the seed was used on the skin and hair. The dried stalk was used as a building material. The plant and the seeds were widely used in ceremonies.

In addition to their economic importance, sunflowers hold symbolic significance in Ukraine, representing peace, resilience, and the strength of the Ukrainian people. During times of conflict or national struggle, the sunflower has emerged as a symbol of unity and hope for the country.

Planting and caring for Ukrainian sunflower seeds involves a process that can be broken down into several key steps. Sunflowers should be planted in the spring after the last frost has passed. They need a full sun location, meaning at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.  Pick a spot with well-draining soil and ample sunlight. Sunflowers are not picky about soil but perform best in slightly acidic to alkaline soil (pH 6.0 to 7.5). Loosen the soil to a depth of about 2 feet to accommodate the long taproots. Mix in a layer of compost to improve nutrient content, especially if the soil is poor. Proper care ensures healthy growth and maximizes the yield of sunflowers, whether they are grown for beauty, seeds, or oil production.

Plant seeds about 1 inch deep. The Zaria sunflower has a large head and seeds should be spaced one foot apart. Space the rows about 2 to 3 feet apart to allow room for growth. Water thoroughly after planting. Sunflowers need a lot of water to grow, especially during their growth spurt and leading up to flowering. Ensure they get about 2 inches of water per week, either from rainfall or supplemental watering.

When the sunflower grows tall it may need staking or support in windy locations to prevent the stems from bending or breaking. Sunflowers are heavy feeders. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time and possibly a second dose just before the plants begin to flower. While sunflowers are generally disease resistant, monitor for pests like aphids, and diseases such as rust or mildew. Use appropriate pest control methods or fungicides if necessary.

Sunflowers are ready to harvest when their back turns from green to yellow or brown, and the head begins to droop. Cut the stem with several inches of it attached to the head to hang and dry if desired.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.
