Sunflower, Sungold

Sungold Sunflower (Helianthus annuus 'Sungold') Sungold Sunflower, also marketed as 'Sungold Dwarf', is a unique dwarf sunflower variety that grows to a height of 24 to 36 inches. The flowerheads of this variety are quite unusual, as they are bushy and full of small petals, unlike the typical sunflower-shaped flower head . In addition to its dwarf stature, Sungold Sunflower is known for its striking, brilliant flowers. The plant produces huge, fluffy, fully-double flowers, up to 6-10 inches across, resembling golden-yellow pompoms. These flowers are attractive to bees, butterflies, and birds, adding to the garden's biodiversity . The golden orbs of tightly packed petals of the Sungold Sunflower bloom freely in summer, requiring only a sunny spot and fertile, well-drained soil to flourish. This variety is multi-branching, producing loads of long-lasting cut flowers . Sungold Sunflower is a favorite among home gardeners who want the delight of sunflowers without the massive plants. It has massive flower heads but only grows to a maximum of 24 inches tall. It is important not to overwater Sungold Sunflowers .
