My husband just informed me that Syngenta has developed a number of resistant sunflower seeds. They are distributed through Garst and Golden Harvest and NK seed retailers. (should have asked him first as he works for Syngenta...grin)
Thanks again. I've e-mailed Northrup King. Previously I grew some NK Lemon Queen sunflowers which did well 'till late summer, then the mildew took over. I have Mammoth seedlings in the garden now.
Good Luck CC. Sunflowers are always so striking in the garden. It is a shame when things go wrong with them. It has been so dry down here, the only time we have a mildew problem is if I get lazy about how i water...grin
Mammoth has escaped mildew (and mites) for a second year. Sunshine on the other hand has just germinated and then deteriorated. Some kind of root disease, it seems.
