15 Seeds Sunflower Sunspot Dwarf Helianthus annuus Easy Grow

Sunspot Sunflower is a compact, dwarf variety of Helianthus annuus prized for its cheerful, large golden-yellow blooms with dark centers. Growing only about 12 to 24 inches tall, it brings bold color to small spaces and is a favorite for borders, containers, and cutting gardens.

The sturdy, pollen-rich flowers appear atop thick stems and bloom over a long summer season, adding bright ornamental interest to patios, beds, and window boxes. The blooms can be cut for fresh arrangements, and the ripening seed heads are a traditional food source for birds. This variety grows quickly from seed and performs well in full sun.
