Sunflower – Dwarf Sunspot
$2.50 – $23.25Price range: $2.50 through $23.25
The Dwarf Sunspot Sunflower is a compact and striking variety that produces bright yellow blooms up to 10 inches across. Growing to just 2 to 3 feet tall, it is ideal for smaller gardens, containers, or as a cheerful border plant. Its vivid flowers provide a bold splash of color from summer through early fall.
This sunflower is drought-tolerant and thrives in full sun, making it low-maintenance and easy to grow in a variety of well-drained soils. Birds are naturally attracted to Dwarf Sunspot Sunflowers, which provide a plentiful source of seeds, while the blooms themselves make excellent cut flowers for indoor arrangements.
For best results, sow seeds outdoors in spring after the last frost. With its manageable size, vibrant blooms, and wildlife-friendly appeal, Dwarf Sunspot is a versatile and rewarding sunflower for gardeners of all levels.
There are other varieties of sunflowers that are also produced in Oregon. Some taller ones include ‘Lemon Queen’ and ‘Autumn Beauty Mix’. Those varieties stand between 5 and seven 7 tall.
