Sunspot Sunflower Seeds – Dwarf Giant Bloom Annual Flower (15 Seeds)

Sunspot Sunflower is a compact, dwarf sunflower variety that produces one large, golden-yellow flower head on a sturdy, thick stem. Unlike towering traditional sunflowers, Sunspot stays short and manageable, making it an excellent choice for containers, small garden beds, and front-of-border plantings. Its oversized bloom relative to its small stature gives it a bold, cheerful presence wherever it grows.

These annual flowers are easy to grow from seed and are well suited for cut flower gardens, pollinator-friendly landscapes, and children's gardens. The bright blooms attract bees and other beneficial insects and can be harvested for fresh arrangements. Sunspot Sunflower performs best in full sun and warm conditions, delivering a fast, rewarding growing experience for gardeners of all skill levels.

Planting & Care

Sow Sunspot Sunflower seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when the soil has warmed. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 6 to 12 inches apart, then thin seedlings to 12 to 18 inches apart once they establish. Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and early growth, then water regularly, especially during dry spells.

These dwarf sunflowers need little maintenance beyond watering and occasional support if grown in windy areas. Remove spent blooms to encourage continued flowering and to keep plants tidy. Avoid overhead watering late in the day to reduce disease risk. With warm temperatures and adequate sunlight, Sunspot Sunflower typically grows and blooms within a single season.
