Big Smile
Sunflower Seeds
Big Smile sunflower has big 3-6 in. golden yellow flowers on sturdy, dwarf plants. Nearly day-length neutral plants will produce flowers at any time that the weather is warm, not just in the long days of summer. When planted directly in the ground, Big Smile blooms when plants are 12-24 in. tall. In pots, flowers develop when plants reach 6-15 in. tall. Big Smile produces pollen for the benefit of bees and other beneficial insects.
Growing Big Smile Sunflower Seeds
Tall Sunflowers: Direct sow into prepared seed beds after all danger of frost. Plant seeds 6 in. apart, ½ in. deep. Thin to 1-1½ ft. apart. Can start plants early indoors in 2 in. pots or cell packs. Transplant into the garden well before seedlings become root bound.
Dwarf Sunflowers: Direct sow into prepared seed beds 3 in. apart, thin to 6-9 in. apart. Easy to start indoors in 2 in. pots or cell packs.
Grow Sunflowers: Sunflowers require full sun. Soil which is moist and moderately fertile will produce the best flower heads. Blooms attract bees, birds and butterflies.
