Good condition, Height 32 cm - inches 11.6, base diameter 12 cm - inches 4.7. he sunflower is native to the western United States where it was an important source of nutri- ments for local populations. It was introduced to our continent from the beginning of the 1500 with ornamental and medicinal purposes. It has been considered an oil plant since the 1700s and only in 1860 did genetic improvement studies begin to increase its oil content. Sunflower achieved an important place in European agriculture after the First War World due to the many benefits of its cultivation: enhancement of environments to summer drought, good productivity, extraction of excellent quality oil.
