This is only my third go with gardening and so naturally I thought: “I oughta plant a few extras just in case”. Shortly after sown, 22 of 24 of the sunspot dwarf sunflower seeds have germinated! No clue where I’ll put them all yet but it’s a problem I’m happy to have. 🙂 Note:
One was not in the photo, I hadn’t moved it over to the larger pot yet. Also, If you’re a first time grower of sunflowers, please know this will not be enough room for this many of them. This photo is of a temporary home for them for just a few days while I sort more space. I didn’t plan to have so many growing this year. #Grow Bigger

I can’t wait to plant these seeds and see them grow!!😊

I bought these sunflower seeds in early July in response to a video by Migardner that focused on what to start for a fall garden. I got these seeds in the ground in mid-July and had beautiful flowers in bloom by September 20th. I worried they wouldn't do well because they were planted in an area with partial sun. Not only did they do well, they exceeded my expectations. They were a spectacular fall statement in my Michigan garden.

I didn’t have a place to grow large sunflowers this year so I got this variety to try and they were exactly 2 feet tall and so pretty! A nice vibrant yellow and my kids loved them! They grew very well in 5 gallon buckets.

just wonderful
