Helianthus annuus (Sunflower)
Color Name: Miss Sunshine
Bright, cheerful, and easy to grow, Miss Sunshine is a compact sunflower bursting with golden-yellow blooms and a sunny personality to match. Perfect for gardens, borders, and containers, this variety stays neat while delivering big color all season long. With its sturdy stems and long-lasting flowers, Miss Sunshine is ideal for pollinator gardens, cut arrangements, or simply adding a pop of happiness to any space.
Growing Tips: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
Soil: Well-draining soil works best. Average garden soil is fine; avoid heavy, waterlogged spots
Water: Water regularly, especially while plants are young. Once established, keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.
Fertilizer: Sunflowers are light feeders. A balanced, all-purpose fertilizer at planting time is usually enough.
