The Teddy Bear sunflower. . .🌻

The Teddy Bear sunflower is a popular variety of sunflower known for its unique appearance. It is a dwarf sunflower type that typically grows to a height of around 2 feet (60 centimeters). The name “Teddy Bear” refers to its characteristic fluffy, double blooms that resemble pom-poms or the cuddly appearance of a teddy bear.

This annual sunflower grows on sturdy stems with broad, dark green leaves. Its extra large, double, golden blooms give it equal weight no matter where you plant it. It stands out in the vegetable garden, flowerbeds, decorative borders and even grown in patio pots. Bloom time extends from mid-summer up until first frost attracting bees, butterflies and birds to the garden. Flower petals and seeds are edible, and Teddy Bear sunflower makes a great cut flower addition for vases and bouquets.
