The purple-black seeds of this sunflower are traditionally used by the Hopi people as a natural dye source, especially for coloring baskets, and the seeds can also be eaten or used as feed — this is considered the best variety for dehulling. Plants grow 7 to 11 feet tall with 5 to 13 inch heads that are mostly multi-headed, featuring yellow rays surrounding attractive purple-green centers. Adapted to cool, high-desert areas, it can also be grown in other regions.
