- This is a dwarf sunflower with multiple heads.
- A feast for songbirds in the late summer.
- Since it blooms with multiple blooms there are some for you and some for the birds.
- Since it only grows to 2 to 3 feet tall staking is not such an issue.
- Helianthus annus
Only grows 2 to 3 feet tall so this is a delight for children and manageable in the garden.

These Teddy Bear dwarf sunflowers are such FUN to grow, and just the right height (about 3 feet) for KIDS to delight in. Swarms of birds feed on them when they are mature, so plant plenty! We planted our group in front of an old trellis screen that we found in someone's bulk trash. We put in a post at each end, fastened them to the screen, and then tied each sunflower loosely to the screen when it reached over two feet tall. Just for support in the wind, tho, not really needed, but the top flower IS large and heavy, so a precaution.
Since we live in the Desert Southwest, the Spring and Summer times are too harsh to start growing ANYTHING, even trees, so we soaked the seeds overnight and planted them in those small flat round peat pods (you hydrate first to make a little pot.) ALL the seeds sprouted very well! When they became sturdy little seedlings, we put them outside. Its very warm here in the Fall, so we just kept them MOIST until they were established (about two weeks.)
All Winter into late Spring, grouped together! These sunflowers are unusual and make everyone in the neighborhood think YOU are talented! But the truth is, they are NO WORK at all! They need water frequently as they grow to 3 feet, but not much of anything after that. All this FUN for the price of a packet of seed - with FREE shipping from JD PowerSellers!

| I ordered these seeds for my science fair project that I'm doing on germination and I was freaking out because I thought it woudn't arrive on time(I'm a big procrastinator). But I ordered something else with these and that item hasn't arrived yet, so No Thyme Productions delivers these to you as fast as they can. This arrived on time and even earlier than I expected. |

| I found these for the first time a couple years ago. They are really a blast. The main blooms can be nearly a foot in diameter while secendary blooms about 6-7in. They are so delightful. They really do look more like a yellow pom pom then a sunflower. The heads to get pretty heavy and can weigh on the plant. But you will be delited with the unique beauty. I certainly was. Your friends will be impressed with your gardening abilities. |
