15 Seeds Teddy Bear Sunflower Helianthus annuus Dwarf Annual Flower

Teddy Bear Sunflower is a compact, dwarf annual sunflower prized for its fully double, fluffy golden blooms that resemble a soft pom-pom. Growing to roughly two to three feet tall on sturdy stems, it brings cheerful color to beds, borders, and containers without the towering height of standard sunflowers.

These blooms make excellent cut flowers and hold well in arrangements, while their manageable size suits small gardens, patios, and pollinator-friendly plantings. Plants grow quickly through warm weather and produce multiple flowers across the season. Regular deadheading encourages continued bloom.
