Sunflower Sunspot Dwarf flower seeds

Dwarf Sunspot sunflower seeds produce stout plants that rarely grow taller than 60cm (24″). Dwarf Sunspot sunflower makes a very striking container plant, but will require regular feeding, and a fairly heavy base so that it doesn’t get top heavy. The long lasting flowers produce copious seeds for wild birds to snack on. This is a really fun variety because it’s so strange to see giant sunflowers on such relatively short plants.

Growing Sunspot Sunflowers

Push each seed about 1 inch (2.5 cm) into the soil. If you’re planting more than one seed in your container, sow the seeds 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm) apart. You may want to add a thin layer of compost to the top of the soil after your seeds are sown.

• Make sure you have a radius of 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm) around all sides of each seed. Don’t show them too close to the edges of the container.
