Description

Grow a garden filled with Tall Teddy Bear, also known as “Tall Sungold” Sunflowers, from freshly harvested Helianthus annus flower seeds. Tall Teddy produces vibrant and fluffy blooms that reach a diameter of 10 inches in full bloom. They stand to a mature height of about 5 to 6 feet tall. The stems may need support until maturity. Once established, they are very strong and will stand upright with no need for stakes or support. Helianthus annus is grown as an annual flowering plant that grows quickly, blooms profusely through the summer months and later dies with the first frost.

Sunflowers are among one of the easiest flowers to grow from fresh flower seeds. They are also seen as one of the most popular and sought after varieties when it comes to gardening. Sunflowers will make a great cut flower for floral arrangements & bouquets and are best used directly outdoors as a border plant, along driveways & fences or in fields by the masses. Tall Teddy is just one of the many varieties we have to offer. For more colorful varieties, check out our other species listed in the Sunflower category. You may consider purchasing our “Double Dance” mixture for a blend of 14 of our most colorful hybrids, or our “Crazy Mixture” which includes some of our more basic Sunflowers. We also sell many bi-colored Sunflowers such as “Cherry Rose” or “Ruby Eclipse”.

Sowing The Seed

Sunflowers are not particularly fond of being transplanted, but if started indoors, sow in peat pots, 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost. Sow at a depth of 1/2” under topsoil. Transplant entire pots into the garden, or direct sow when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed. Stakes may be necessary to support your Sunflowers, only until the stems become stronger enough to stand on their own.

Growing Conditions

Sunflowers grow long taproots and may rot if the roots become waterlogged. It is recommended to check your sowing area for hard, compacted soil prior to sowing. Renew any hard, compacted soil with a mixture of compost. Sunflowers will enjoy an area of full sunlight for the majority of the day and should be watered daily so that the soil is kept moist until germination has occurred.

Germination & Growth

Tall Teddy Sunflower seeds will begin to germinate within 7 to 10 days after sowing. The plants will grow to a mature height of 5 to 6 feet tall and can be spaced roughly 6 to 12 inches apart from one another. Tall Teddy Sunflower is an annual, that produces double, golden yellow flowers that spread to 10 inches in diameter.
