Dwarf Sunspot Sunflower

This sunflower has large heads, 10 – 12″, with sunny-yellow petals with golden centers on compact bushes, only up to 24″ tall, with edible seeds. Dwarf Sunspot Sunflower is a shorter variety is great for containers, beds, and borders.  Thin seedlings to 18 – 24″ apart.  The plants will do better if planted with composted manure and slow release fertilizer.  Vigorous plants will mature quickly in about 9 weeks from planting. 

Keep them deadheaded until the end of the season. If you deadhead your sunflowers, they will keep pumping out new blossoms in their will to create seeds and more sunflowers.  Don’t cut the stalk way back, the next sunflower often forms just inches from the place you deadheaded.

Leave the very last batch of spent flowers for the birds and for next year’s flowers. When it seems like the sunflowers are slowing down, leave the last set of flower heads on the plant for the birds.  Even if it is a little ugly going into Fall, birds like the seed heads right on the plant.  Little finches especially like to sit on top of the old brown seed head and bend over and pluck seeds out.
