Days to Maturity: 70

The Incredible Dwarf Sunflower is a garden standout, bringing compact elegance and a profusion of vibrant blooms to any space. This variety is renowned for its ability to produce large, up to 9-inch flowers adorned with bright yellow petals and a golden central disk, despite its modest stature. Each bloom is perfectly presented on stiff, coarse stems, ensuring that these sunflowers make a long-lasting impression both in the garden and as cut flowers in a vase. For the most enduring displays, remember to harvest your dwarf sunflowers in the cool of the early morning.

Designed to maximize the visual appeal of smaller spaces, the Incredible Dwarf Sunflower thrives in a variety of garden settings. Whether planted in beds, borders, or even large containers, this small sunflower variety adds significant impact with its multi-branched structure and large leaves. Ideal for cottage, informal, cutting, or wildlife gardens, its flowers are a beacon to bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects, while its seeds attract a diverse array of birds, ensuring your garden is alive with activity.

As a resilient plant, dwarf sunflowers boast rapid growth, tolerance to heat, and resistance to pests, including deer. To enhance these natural defenses, consider companion planting with chives to keep aphids at bay with their onion scent. Dwarf sunflower seeds are straightforward to grow. Select a sunny location that receives 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily, with well-drained, humus-rich soil. Sow the seeds ½ to 1½ inches deep and 18 inches apart, then water regularly to promote deep, healthy root development. Succession planting every two to three weeks ensures a continuous bloom until frost.

For gardeners who prefer a head start, Incredible Dwarf Sunflower Seeds are also suitable for indoor starting. Use our Bio Dome Seed Starter Kit to optimize conditions for your small sunflower seeds, preparing them for outdoor planting once frost risks have passed.
