Sunflower is the rare field flower that turns heat waves into readable thumbnails — 85 base on tall blooms that advertise Windstruck and Ember before you graduate to sunbulb seeds.
Unit weight sells for 85 Sheckles. Eight kilograms yield 85 × 64 = 5,440; fourteen kilograms yield 85 × 196 = 16,660 before mutations. That mid-rare curve is enough to matter once Solar (×22) or Ember (×25) lands on a heavy head instead of a light practice bloom.

Sunflower has a base value of 85 Sheckles at unit weight. Because sale value scales with weight squared, the table below shows the raw sell and the same crop with Golden or Rainbow growth applied at common harvest weights.
| Weight | Raw (no mutation) | + Golden (20×) | + Rainbow (50×) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 85 | 1.7K | 4.25K |
| 2 kg | 340 | 6.8K | 17K |
| 5 kg | 2.13K | 42.5K | 106K |
| 10 kg | 8.5K | 17K | 425K |
Tall petals favor Solar, Ember, and Sundried (×21) during heat. Windstruck (×3) and Pollinated (×6) are practical secondary tags on open corner plots. Keep one growth mutation — Golden (×20) for most sales. Ember still conflicts with cold moisture tags, so drop Frozen plans before a heat-wave finish.
Plant at the start of summer events or heat-wave forecasts. Use sunflowers as corner markers where wind and pollinator paths meet. Avoid blizzards in the final bloom stage; harvest when kilograms and a heat tag are both honest rather than hoping weather flips twice.
Sunbulb at 118 and ember-lily at 142 inherit the same heat calendar at higher seed cost. Prove 12 kg+ sunflower discipline before converting the whole bed into legendary flowers overnight.
Marigold at 42 uncommon base is cheaper height practice. Prefer sunflower when rare-tier trade proof matters more than filler hours on decorative edges.
Height makes Windstruck and Ember obvious in thumbnails. Place finished heads where lighting reads the tag, then lead the caption with kilograms buyers can verify.
Stagger plant times across a sunflower row so weather procs spread across a longer window instead of one synchronized miss that wastes the whole heat forecast.
