When sowing seeds, plant them approximately 1 inch deep and spaced 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for adequate growth.

This particular variety is characterized by its compact growth habit, typically reaching heights of 12 to 24 inches, making it ideal for smaller gardens or container planting.

One of the most notable features of the Sunspot sunflower is its large, round flower heads, which can measure up to 8 inches in diameter.

In addition to their aesthetic and ecological benefits, Sunspot sunflowers can also serve as effective companions in vegetable gardens.
