dwarf sunflowers

20 years ago

I have a packet of a dwarf sunflower called Pacino. Does anyone know if it is the type that produces just one flower, or does it branch out? I haven't grown suflowers too much, because they tend to be so tall, but I know some of them produce 1 stalk with one flower. I don't want to bother if these are like that. I know its early, but I'm trying to get some idea of what I want in my garden and containers this year. I thought I'd put in the Pacino sunflowers in containers with nasturtiums and portulaca.

Pacino sunflowers are supposed to bush out beautifully. I'd imagine they'd make a good hedge.

"Sunflower Pacino"
Helianthus annuus Pacino

Just 24 to 30 inches tall!

A Dwarf Sunflower for the Border or Container!
Huge 8-inch blooms!

This light-toned dwarf Sunflower bears plenty of enormous blooms on each bushy, very dense 24- to 30-inch plant! The blooms have chartreuse centers, a ring of light brown, and masses of frilly yellow petals--cheery and so striking in the garden or vase! The plants were originally developed for containers, but have proved fabulous border performers as well. The blooms keep coming over a very long season, bringing in the butterflies and songbirds with them!

I have dwarf sunflowers and I have no idea how to care for them. They did fine, but now the flowers have bloomed and closed back up. Am I supposed to cut off those closed blooms?
