    Customer photo review of Sunflower Seeds (Dwarf) - Sunspot

    I ordered these seeds and got the most amazing surprise. A three headed dwarf sunflower. She is absolutely beautiful-and unexpected.

    Customer photo review of Sunflower Seeds (Dwarf) - Sunspot

    Most were taller than expected, but GORGEOUS nonetheless. The span between short and medium was actually fairly striking planted en masse. Recommend for sure.

    I have planted these over and over and continue to only get one out of many to germinate. The instructions are simple and other sunflowers are growing in the beds, so it’s not user error, I am disappointed. I had planned to have many and only have a few.

    Store owner replied: Hello JennVaT. Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that this variety did not perform as expected for you. We understand how disappointing it is to end up with only a few plants, especially when other sunflower varieties are thriving nearby. While germination can be affected by environmental conditions, we appreciate that you've grown sunflowers successfully and took the time to share your experience. We are glad we were able to connect with you and provide a resolution. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help, and for continuing to grow with Eden Brothers!

    I was looking for a dwarf variety. The description said 18" to 24". All of the plants are are now blooming with none being less than 36" and some as tall as 72". Overall a very nice an easy to grow flower but the description was not how they turned out. Next year I'll try something else.

    Store owner replied: Hello, Bill Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention as feedback like yours helps us deliver the best quality products possible. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to resolve this for you. If you have any other issues, feel free to reach out!

    Although my plants are at 4 foot right now and I expect around another 6" or more they way they are growing, they are really fabulous plants anyway. Fast germination, fast growth. Easier than zinnias. It doesn't really get much simpler than that. I'd recommend this but be prepared for a taller plant.

    I have purchased sunflower seed from other sources but I've come back to Eden Brothers. Their sunflowers look great and they provide the best germination rate.

    Excellent value for large seed head on compact plant. The birds love the seed produced on these short plants and help to keep bugs down around our place with the birds attracting plants. The flower heads hang on good into the fall.
