Bert Hybrid Sunflower
Growing Bert Hybrid Sunflower
‘Bert’ is a compact hybrid sunflower prized for its large, bright yellow blooms, dark chocolate-colored centers, and sturdy growth. The pollenless flowers rise above lush green foliage, creating a cheerful display while also making this dwarf sunflower an excellent choice for cutting and potted presentations.
Plant ‘Bert’ seeds about 1 inch deep and space plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun. Germination typically takes 7 to 10 days. Its compact growth habit makes this variety especially well suited to smaller gardens and limited-space plantings.
Ready to bloom in about 75 days, enjoy the flowers as they open and reach their best display stage. Cut stems as needed for arrangements or leave the blooms in the garden for a bright ornamental display.
Compact, cheerful, and versatile, ‘Bert’ is an excellent choice for ornamental beds, smaller gardens, cut flower gardens, containers, and pollinator-friendly plantings.
