Growing Information
Growing Big Smile Sunflower
‘Big Smile’ is a compact open-pollinated sunflower prized for its large golden-yellow blooms, branching habit, and quick garden color. This dwarf variety can produce up to five flower heads per plant, creating an impressive display of well-proportioned blooms above compact plants.
Plant ‘Big Smile’ seeds about 1 inch deep and space plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun. Germination typically takes 7 to 10 days. This heat- and drought-tolerant variety performs especially well in warm, sunny conditions.
Ready to bloom in about 75 days, enjoy the flowers as they open and reach their best display stage. Its branching habit can provide multiple blooms from a single plant for an extended ornamental display.
Bright, compact, and cheerful, ‘Big Smile’ is an excellent choice for ornamental beds, borders, cut flower gardens, and pollinator-friendly plantings.
