'Teddy Bear' produces many 3\"-5\" flowers on a 24\"-36\" tall, multi-branching plant; beautiful as a short hedge and makes a fabulous cut flower. Sunflowers are edible, with a bittersweet flavor. The petals add a pretty pop of color ion salads and desserts. The young, sunflower buds are edible, with a flavor similar to artichoke hearts. They can be grilled, marinated, or sauteed for an unusual appetizer or side dish. Great for kids to grow due to the large seed and fast growth. Drought-tolerant once established, and attracts pollinators. Non-fussy plant blooms until fall.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHelianthus annuus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAsteraceae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNorth America\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAnnual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e24–36\" tall, 12\"–24\" wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3\"–5\" double, golden-yellow flowers resemble huge chrysanthemums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFull sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSummer to frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Sow Outside:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Start Inside:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date.
