The Sunflower Head is the flower head cut from a grown Sunflower plant. It is the fresh harvest of the crop and holds the seeds. It cannot be eaten as it is.
It suits gardeners who want sunflower seeds for food or for replanting. Its main strength is that one head becomes a good batch of seeds once dried. Its main cost is that it rots if left fresh too long.
The head comes only from farming Sunflowers. It sits outside the loot tables. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Using
Sunflowers grow from Sunflower Seeds. The plant needs about 432 hours to grow, roughly eighteen days. Each grown plant gives two to four Sunflower Heads at harvest.
Sowing works from March through May. April is the best month to plant. August through February are bad months, when the crop struggles.
The fresh head goes through the Dry Sunflower recipe to become a Sunflower Head (Dried). Collect Sunflower Seeds then turns each dried head into ten Sunflower Seeds.
Upkeep
A fresh Sunflower Head stays fresh for about ten days. It rots fully after about thirteen days. Drying the heads soon after harvest keeps the seeds from going to waste.
Notes
- The fresh head cannot be eaten.
- Drying the head is the step before collecting seeds.
- Each dried head gives ten Sunflower Seeds.
- April is the best month to sow Sunflowers.
