Description
Dwarf Teddy Bear Sungold Sunflowers deliver all the charm of traditional sunflowers in a compact, child-friendly size. The distinctive fluffy, fully double blooms create golden pom-poms rather than the typical flat sunflower face.
At just 30 inches tall, the flowers grow at an accessible height for children to enjoy up close. The dwarf habit makes this variety ideal for small gardens, containers, and front-of-border plantings where taller sunflowers would overwhelm the space.
These cheerful sunflowers carry an ancient heritage dating back to Native American cultivation around 2000 BC. Historically valued for edible seeds, oil production, dye, and medicinal uses, sunflowers remain symbols of loyalty and constancy in the language of flowers.
Teddy Bear sunflowers attract bees and butterflies while resisting deer browsing. The compact plants produce excellent cut flowers for arrangements and vases.
Plant in children’s gardens, cottage gardens, or cutting gardens for continuous late summer and early fall blooms that spread happiness wherever they grow.
