Dwarf Sunflower 180MM

Helianthus annuus dwarf (Sunflower)

I am Dwarf Sunflower. My family originated from North America.

Habit Shrub - Huge Blooms
Plant family Asteraceae
I am Australian bred and have been created as a world class sunflower series of cultivars with the home gardener in mind. My varieties have been bred to be dwarf and are ideal in pots with multiple flowering stems. My flowers come in a stunning array of colours including red, mauve and lilac forms. I should be grown in full sun and my developing blooms will follow the sun but usually settle facing north east when mature so it is a good idea to plant them on the west side of the garden to appreciate the mature blooms. My flowers are pollen-free and last longer than regular sunflowers. My blooms do not set seed but still produce nectar attracting bees and beneficial insects.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I am just as happy in pots and containers as I am planted out in the garden
My multi-stem form produces repeat flowering in shades of reds, yellows and lilacs during the warmer months
I am pollen-free to enhance flower life and avoid pollen allergies
