Up for sale is one pack of 20 "Little Becka" Dwarf Sunflower seeds. This dwarf variety is suitable for pots and has a shorter stem of around 12" in pots and 24" in the garden. Works well in the garden as a border flower and are called "Little Becka" as they resemble rudbeckia's with rust red petals that are fringed with yellow. This variety is technically a branching type of sunflower, but due to the small nature we do not recommend you pinch them.

You can sow these sunflowers through late summer. The color of these sunflowers, and the overall vigor of the plant, is very dependent on sufficient soil nutrient levels. To achieve the brightest color we suggest you use a nutrient soil test to check your NPK and make sure your PH level is at least 7. A PH level under 6 will negatively affect the color of the bloom.
