Sunflower Teddy Bear Seeds
R 65,00
Teddy Bear Sunflowers are a cheerful dwarf variety that produce masses of fluffy golden-yellow blooms throughout summer. Unlike traditional sunflowers, their fully double flowers have a soft, pom-pom appearance, bringing texture and colour to garden beds, containers and cut flower patches.
Easy to grow from seed, they thrive in full sun and reward gardeners with weeks of blooms on compact plants. Their manageable size makes them a great choice for smaller gardens, while their bright flowers help attract bees and other pollinators to the garden.
