Teddy Bear Sunflower Seeds

This is one of the most beloved ornamental sunflowers ever introduced, famous for its soft, fluffy double blooms that resemble golden teddy bears. Unlike traditional sunflowers with visible centers, Teddy Bear produces densely packed petals that create a rounded, pom-pom appearance. The compact plants are easy to grow, bloom abundantly, and bring a cheerful, whimsical charm to gardens, containers, and floral arrangements.

Garden Uses: Teddy Bear Sunflower is perfect for cottage gardens, children's gardens, cutting gardens, patio containers, borders, and seasonal displays. Its manageable size makes it especially useful where taller sunflowers would be overwhelming. The bright yellow blooms provide excellent color throughout summer and combine beautifully with zinnias, marigolds, cosmos, and other warm-season annuals.

Growing Information: Sow seeds directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed. Plant seeds approximately 1 inch deep in fertile, well-drained soil. Select a location with full sun for the best flowering performance. Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart to encourage healthy growth and airflow. Water regularly during establishment and during dry periods. Plants are relatively low maintenance and bloom heavily throughout the summer season.
