Quick Overview

The sunflower, helianthus annuus, has been cultivated for at least 3,000 years by Indians of the Americas and the Chinese. The Incas called them "chimalati". Sacred emblem of the sun god. Their image was carved on temple walls and shaped into gold jewellery worn by the priests. Sun priests wore a crown of sunflowers and carried the blooms in many rituals and ceremonies. Spanish explorers of the 16th Century stood in awe beneath fields of these sacred suns for they had never seen anything so grand. They took the seed back to Europe where it first became widely cultivated in Russia.
