What is the plant

One of the most recognizable flowers, Sunflowers, are cheerful, bright flowers that are easy to grow. The Dwarf Sunflower is a hybrid mix that was created to grow Sunflowers that are a manageable height for your home.

First discovered in the United States, the Sunflower is now found worldwide. This miniature version will reach between 3-4 feet (.91 - 1.21 m) but still retain its signature bright, yellow flowers.

They do well both indoors and outdoors and will need plenty of room to spread out. The Dwarf Sunflower hybrid can grow multiple heads from one stem, giving you more than one flower to enjoy.
