Dwarf sunflower Hella Sonnenblume
Certified organic by Québec Vrai.
These attractive dwarf sunflower plants, reaching about 1 meter in height, are prized for their use in bouquets. The flowers, approximately 10 cm in diameter, are a beautiful golden yellow with a dark center. The plants produce multiple flowers and bloom from mid-summer until late autumn. They make excellent borders along entrances and field edges.
Because the flowers remain until late autumn, they are an excellent food source for bumblebees, which enjoy visiting them when food becomes scarce.
