Sunflower – Dwarf Sunspot
$2.50 – $23.25
Dwarf Sunspot Sunflowers are short-growing, bright yellow sunflowers. They grow between 2 and 3 feet tall and offer 10 inch diameter blooms. They are drought tolerant and require a lot of sun. Birds flock to these flowers as they provide a substantial amount of food for them. Sunflowers are good cut flowers. Planting should be done in the spring after the danger of frost is past. 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.
Seeding rate is 3 lbs per acre when planting in rows with a seeder. For broadcast planting you will need 2 to 2.5 times that rate, about 6-8 lbs per acre.
