Does anyone know of a database that contains sunflowers .I want open pollinated sunflowers so I can keep the seeds but it can be very difficult to tell if the sunflower is a hybrid or not. I only have one sunflower in mind right now (dwarf incredible ) but I am going to be growing a few other varieties and I want to make sure they are open pollinated. I have looked in seed catalogs from companies that carry only open pollinated seeds but those only represent a small amount of varieties. If anyone has any information that would be great Thanks

Sorry for the late reply. I've ordered a lot from Baker Creek and they don't sell any hybrid sunflowers but it is so hard to tell if flowers in general are open pollinated or hybrid. I wanted op sunflowers because they have lots of pollin for our bees. Also I want to save the seeds. Zinnias are my other favorite annual flower and there's a lot of new varieties but it is hard to find out wether or not they are hybrid.
