Our sunflower microgreens deliver a nutty, crunchy bite, grown and cut fresh at our Lineville, Alabama farm.
Sunflower Microgreens are cut fresh at our Lineville, Alabama farm and packed live for maximum flavor and nutrient density. Microgreens deliver concentrated flavor and nutrients in a tiny leaf - perfect for salads, sandwiches, bowls, and garnish. Available in 2 oz and 4 oz clamshells, cut fresh to order.
- Grown in: Lineville, Alabama (no synthetic pesticides)
- Freshness: Harvested at peak and sold fresh
- Availability: Seasonal - local Alabama delivery & pickup
- Storage: Refrigerate and enjoy fresh
- Why it's good: Nutrient-dense and picked at peak freshness
- Storage: Sealed clamshell in the crisper, 34-40°F
- Shelf life: 7 to 10 days
- Washing: Worth a quick rinse. Sunflower is the one green here that can carry the odd black seed hull, and a rinse floats them off.
- Using: The thickest stems and biggest crunch of anything on the bench, which makes it the best micro for sandwiches - it holds up under weight where a fine green would flatten.
No hardiness zone on this one — it's harvested and sold to eat, not to plant. If you're after the plant itself rather than the crop, check our starters and herb plants.
Why are there occasional black hulls in the tray?
Sunflower seeds have a hard shell that the seedling usually sheds as it straightens up, but a few hang on. They are harmless and just unpleasant to chew - a rinse or a quick pick-through removes them.
What does it taste like?
Nutty and faintly sweet with a real crunch, closer to a raw seed than to a leaf. It is the least green-tasting micro we cut.
Does it hold up in a sandwich?
Better than any other one here. The stems are thick and juicy and they do not collapse, which is why sunflower is the default for anything pressed or stacked.

Why we only ship Mondays and Tuesdays
A plant in a dark box is on a clock. Shipping early in the week means it reaches you before the weekend instead of sitting in a warehouse from Friday to Monday. It costs us a day or two of lead time and saves a lot of plants.
Practically: an order placed Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or over the weekend goes out the following Monday. We'd rather tell you that now than let you find it in a tracking number.
How long it takes once it leaves
Typical ground transit from Lineville, Alabama after the ship day. Estimates, not guarantees — weather and carrier backlogs happen.
- 1–2 days Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky
- 2–3 days The rest of the Southeast and Midwest, Texas, the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast
- 3–5 days The Plains, the Mountain West and the West Coast
Tracking is emailed the moment your box is scanned.
If something arrives unhappy
A little leaf drop or travel stress is normal and usually sorts itself out within a week or two of settling in. If a plant arrives genuinely damaged, email support@wadegreens.com within 48 hours of delivery with a photo of the plant and the box, and we'll make it right.
Plant Traits
The facts that decide whether it takes root, in the order that matters.
Sunlight
Full Sun (6+ hrs)
Six or more hours of direct sun. With less it stretches toward the light and flowering thins out.
Water
High
Keep the soil consistently damp. It wilts fast and does not always come back from a hard dry-out.
Mature Size
Under 1 ft
Where it settles once established. Plan the spacing for this, not for the size it arrives at.
Foliage
Herbaceous
Soft-stemmed. It dies back to the ground and returns from the roots — the top going brown is the plan, not a failure.
Works As
Edible Garden
Traits
- EdibleSome part of it is grown to be eaten. We grow without pesticides, so it needs nothing more than a rinse.
- Fast GrowingFills its space in a season or two. Fast growth is soft growth, so expect a shorter life and more give in a storm.
- Attracts PollinatorsOpen, shallow flowers with nectar a generalist bee can reach. These are the visitors that set fruit on everything else in the garden.
- Pet SafeNo compound known to be toxic to cats or dogs. Any plant eaten in volume can upset a stomach — this means no known toxin, not a licence to graze.
