Teddy Bear Sunflower
It will grow in almost any soil and is drought tolerant but, for larger and profuse flowering, good moisture is required.
The Teddy Bear sunflower, 'Helianthus annuus', is a dwarf sunflower plant with many 4 to 6 inch double yellow-gold flowers that look like huge mums.
A second planting 2 weeks after the initial planting and a third planting 2 weeks later will produce attractive foliage and flowers until the first fall frost.
Teddy Bear sunflowers are annual that blooms mid-summer to fall.
Place this plant in full sun for best results.
