Dwarf Teddy Bear Sunflower Seeds
Teddy Bear Sunflowers, commonly known as Dwarf Sungold Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus), are a captivating and compact variety that brings a playful flair to any garden. Reaching heights of 2 to 3 feet, their plush double blooms make them ideal for borders, containers, or cozy corners. Their bright golden yellow hue injects vitality into gardens, while their bushy growth thrives beautifully in limited spaces.
These charming sunflowers are a magnet for pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to a vibrant ecosystem. They flourish in well-drained soil and soak up the full sun, offering blooms from mid-summer through fall, which enhances the colorful landscape of your garden. For optimal growth, plant them in nutrient-rich soil, ensure they get ample sunlight, and water them consistently, especially during dry spells. Teddy Bear Sunflowers not only elevate the aesthetic of your garden but also foster biodiversity, making them a fantastic choice for gardeners of all kinds.

How to Grow
To start, prepare well drained nutrient rich soil by mixing in organic matter like compost for added nutrients. Choose a sunny location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily, and sow the seeds after the last frost date when the soil is warm enough. Plant the seeds about 1/2 inch deep and 6 to 12 inches apart, watering them gently to maintain consistent moisture without overwatering. Regular care involves watering during dry spells, applying a balanced fertilizer once or twice during the season, and keeping the area weed-free. Monitor for pests and diseases, removing any unwanted visitors by hand or using organic solutions as necessary. With the right attention, your Teddy Bear Sunflowers will bloom from mid-summer to fall, bringing joy and vibrancy to your garden.
