Sunflower Teddy Bear Seeds

Size

Helianthus annuus

Teddy Bear is a delightful dwarf sunflower producing wonderfully fluffy, fully double blooms in rich golden yellow. The densely packed petals give the flowers a soft, fuzzy appearance, resembling oversized golden pompons. Flower heads measure approximately 7–12 cm across, creating a cheerful display throughout the warmer months.

Growing approximately 50 cm to 1 m tall, Teddy Bear is a compact, branching variety that produces multiple flower heads rather than a single towering bloom. Its manageable size makes it excellent for garden borders, pots, children's gardens and mass plantings.

The thick, plush flowers are particularly attractive in bouquets and make excellent cut flowers, with their unusual texture adding interest to floral arrangements. Easy to grow and fast flowering, Teddy Bear brings all the charm of a traditional sunflower in a much smaller package.

Approximately 10 seeds per packet.

Planting / Sowing

Sow approximately 1–2 cm deep directly where plants are to grow once the soil has warmed. Sunflowers develop strong taproots and generally perform best when direct sown, although young seedlings can be transplanted carefully.

Space plants approximately 30–45 cm apart in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment and flowering, avoiding waterlogged conditions. Regular removal of spent flowers encourages further blooms on branching plants. For cut flowers, harvest when blooms are beginning to open.

Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
