SUNSPOT DWARF SUNFLOWER SEEDS, 150 COUNT: A compact dwarf sunflower (Helianthus annuus) producing giant 8–10 in. golden blooms on a 2–3 ft. stalk. Open-pollinated, non-GMO, and suited to containers, borders, and pollinator gardens across USDA zones 2–11. GIANT GOLDEN BLOOMS ON A SHORT STALK: Sunspot produces single golden-yellow flowers 8–10 in. across with a broad dark seed center. A ring of ray petals creates a classic open sunflower face that draws the eye in beds, borders, and patio pots. GROWS IN MOST SOILS WITH FULL SUN: Thrives in well-drained, average to fertile soil at neutral pH. Heat-loving and moderately drought tolerant once established. Water regularly until established, then as needed. Space plants for airflow. BLOOMS IN 75 TO 90 DAYS FROM SOWING: Expect mid to late summer flowers when direct sown in spring after the last frost. Succession sow every 2–3 weeks from spring through midsummer to extend the blooming period and keep color coming through the season. TRUE DWARF HABIT, COMPACT AND STURDY: Sunspot grows 2–3 ft. (60–90 cm.) tall with a 12–18 in. spread, perfect for containers and borders. The thick, self-supporting stalk holds heavy blooms upright without staking; stake only in windy spots. ATTRACTS BEES, BUTTERFLIES, AND BIRDS: The open single face draws bees and butterflies through summer. Ripening seed heads then attract seed-eating birds, extending garden wildlife value into fall. A natural fit for pollinator-friendly planting designs. ANNUAL SUNFLOWER, ZONES 2 TO 11: Sunspot is a warm-season annual thriving in USDA zones 2–11. Direct sow after the last spring frost for reliable summer blooms. No overwintering needed; resow each spring for another season of golden flowers. DIRECT SOW FOR BEST RESULTS: Press seeds ½–1 in. deep into soil or container mix after the last frost. Thin to 12 in. (30 cm.) apart. Germinates in 7–14 days at 70–75°F (21–24°C). No indoor setup or grow lights needed for strong, reliable results. OPEN-POLLINATED, NON-GMO SUNSPOT VARIETY: O-pollinated and non-GMO, Sunspot is not an F1 hybrid. Seeds saved from fully ripened heads can be resown the following season to continue growing this compact dwarf sunflower year after year. PERFECT FOR CONTAINERS, BORDERS, AND KIDS' GARDENS: Dwarf sunflower seeds for containers thrive in large pots and patio planters. Sunspot also suits bed fronts, cutting gardens, and children's gardens where a fast, rewarding bloom is the goal.
