A unique addition to your flower bed, these bright yellow puffball blossoms will give you a warm, fuzzy feeling! 'Teddy Bear' produces many 3"-5" flowers on a 24"-36" tall, multi-branching plant; beautiful as a short hedge and makes a fabulous cut flower. Sunflowers are edible, with a bittersweet flavor. The petals add a pretty pop of color ion salads and desserts. The young, sunflower buds are edible, with a flavor similar to artichoke hearts. They can be grilled, marinated, or sauteed for an unusual appetizer or side dish. Great for kids to grow due to the large seed and fast growth. Drought-tolerant once established, and attracts pollinators. Non-fussy plant blooms until fall.

    This sunflower is so pretty. I didn’t grow many because the the grackles either stole my seeds or the bugs ate my seedlings but the ones that survived make up for the ones lost. I tried to grow teddy bear sunflowers 2 years ago from one of the big seed companies, I don’t remember which and nothing came of it so Im really excited to have these this year.

    So far so good! They’re growing wonderfully and putting out so many buds! I’ve never seen a sunflower like this one and they are just adorable. So fuzzy!! This is my first time growing anything from seed and the botanical interest seeds germinated very well! I’m super happy and will definitely buy again.
