Dwarf Sunflower ‘Sunspot’ – Irish Seed

‘Sunspot’ is a dwarf variety of sunflower which produce massive flowers on short strong stems of about 40-50cm in height. They are ideal for windy gardens and small children* – you wont have to hire a cherry picker for them to get a look at the bumblebees collecting pollen. The golden flowers can reach a diameter of 30cm. Good for growing in containers or large pots. The ripening seeds provide plenty of bird food. Of course, you can save some and sow your own seed again the following year.

Average 50 seeds per packet.

_{*It is not yet clear whether this variety is suitable for small gardens and windy children. Though research abounds, results are conflicting and debates amongst ‘experts’ often degenerate into name calling and slander. Some argue that growing dwarf sunflowers in gardens with ungenerous boundaries only serves to further their diminutive status, whilst elsewhere, a compelling case is made that the joy a child experiences observing bumble bees in the labour of pollen collection is no compensation for having to listen to them drivel on about it afterwards.}
