Details

No room to grow giant sunflowers? Try Sunspot! A classic sunflower, with big 10 inch nodding heads stuffed with seeds. Flowers are perched atop child-size bushes only 18-24 inches tall. The vibrant, golden-yellow petals surround golden-brown centers. Sunspot makes large dramatic cut flowers, and are good for container plantings or a short annual hedge. Birds enjoy the seed heads in autumn and winter, or dry the seeds yourself for a tasty homegrown snack!
