A Hopi heirloom prized for its purple-black seeds, used especially for coloring baskets. Seeds are good for dye but also for food or feed, and are the best for de-hullling. The massive tall flowers are classically sunflower beautiful, with yellow rays around purple-black centers. Grown for countless generations, this variety will almost certainly still be used to make dye a hundred years from now.
