Sunflower Giant Teddy is a striking Teddy Bear variety loved for its large, fluffy flower heads and abundant blooms. Producing impressive, pollen-free flowers up to 20 cm across, this variety is ideal for cut flower displays and garden impact alike.
Seeds can be started early indoors or sown directly into the garden once the risk of frost has passed. Sow seeds 5 mm deep in clumps spaced around 45 cm apart and keep the soil moist. Seedlings typically emerge within 10 to 14 days, with flowers appearing from around 10 weeks after sowing.
Plants benefit from thinning to the strongest seedlings and regular deadheading to encourage a longer flowering season. With multiple blooms per plant, Giant Teddy delivers weeks of cheerful colour and generous stems perfect for harvesting.
