Sunflower Girasole Nanissimo Sunspot

Sunflower  Girasole Nanissimo Sunspot Dwarf Sunspot sunflower (Helianthus annuus ‘Sunspot’) reaches heights of only about 24 inches (61 cm.), which makes it ideal for growing in the garden or in containers. The stems are sturdy enough to support the big, golden yellow blooms, measuring about 10 inches (25 cm.) in diameter– perfect for cut flower arrangements.

A lovely dwarf sunflower, reaching only 36" if planted in garden and smaller in pots. 90 days. Direct seed or use transplants, but direct seeding is preferred. Plant outside after last frost date, 2-3 seeds every 12 inches, thin to one. Seeds germinate in 7-14 days. If starting inside as transplants, start no more than 5 weeks before expected set out date and do not "pot up" as sunflowers do not like to be transplanted. 90 days to maturity.
