. ‘Dwarf Sunspot’ annual sunflower is a real
miracle when it comes to size! Yes, because the sturdy, straight upward
stems will only reach 3 feet tall (90 cm), but this dwarf variety
retains the massive flower heads that you would normally find on her
tall and famous sisters! In fact, the blooms are huge, 10 to 12 inches
across (25 to 35 inches) and very traditional indeed!
This heirloom cultivar will blossom in summer,
when the Sun is high and hot, and you will find all the beauty of our
star reflected in your garden! The ray flowers are pointed, typically
warm and vibrant golden yellow, and they are quite dense, forming a
perfect crown! The inner disk is very large indeed, providing lots of
florets for bees, butterflies and pollinators, and then as many seeds
for little birds.
Its color goes from chestnut orangish to
darker shades of chocolate and even mahogany, and this makes a perfect
big eye in the middle of the floral display. The foliage is in the
classical shape and texture, but, being compact, it is much more dense
than in the giant varieties we all well know.
A favorite
for cut flower, ‘Dwarf Sunspot’ is also great in containers or to
provide massive and traditional looking summer blooms in flower beds and
herbaceous borders in an informal garden or terrace, and no other
cultivar can give you the same “countryside look” as it does!

How To Grow Dwarf Sunspot Sunflowers
Initially you can water daily and watch for seeds to germinate in two to three weeks. Thin Dwarf Sunspot sunflowers to about 12 inches apart, after the seedlings are large enough to handle.
Caring for Dwarf Sunspot: Water newly planted Sunspot sunflower seeds frequently to keep the soil moist, but not soggy. Water seedlings frequently, directing the water to the soil about 4 inches away from the plant.
Once the sunflowers are well established, water deeply, but infrequently, to encourage long healthy roots. As a general rule, one good watering per week is adequate. Avoid soggy soil, as sunflowers are drought-tolerant plants that tend to rot if conditions are too wet.
Sunflowers don’t need a lot of fertilizer and too much can create weak, spindly stems. Add a small amount of general-purpose garden fertilizer to the soil at planting time if your soil is poor. You can also apply a well-diluted, water-soluble fertilizer a few times during the blooming season.
Annual. Easily grown in average, moist, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates poor soils that are on the dry side. Plant seed in the garden after last frost date. Plants grow so rapidly that there is little reason to start seed indoors.
Best locations are areas sheltered from strong winds. Plant foliage often depreciates as the summer progresses. If the plants must come down, consider saving the seed heads for feeding the birds in winter. Harvest seed from favorite plants to replant the following year.
( But some cultivars will not reliably come true from seeds however ).
