Teddy Bear Dwarf Sunflower

Short 3 or so foot tall stalks set gorgeous yellow blooms that are roughly 4 or 5 inches. These are fluffy pom-pom looking blooms rather than the "traditional" brown solid center. Ideal for container growers or to plant along fences or sidewalks without blocking views. Last a long time as a cut flower in vases. Seed to bloom in roughly 2 months. Sunflowers are beloved by squirrels and any other number of critters here. I like to overplant quite a lot so that I am guaranteed that a few are missed by pests. I'll even put chicken wire loosely over the area I plant so the squirrels cant dig them up easily and then remove it once it has its first set of true leaves.

Packet: 225 seeds
