Miss Sunshine Sunflower

Miss Sunshine is a dwarf sunflower with golden-yellow, pollen-free blooms and a quick flush of secondary flowers. Its compact size suits mixed or single-variety planters where a short summer display is wanted. ## Size and Flowering The [PanAmerican Miss Sunshine culture sheet](https://www.panamseed.com/utility/cultureSheetPDF.aspx?pagename=culture.aspx&txtphid=060000001022888&type=Pot) lists a height of 10–16 inches, a spread of 6–8 inches and summer flowering. Flowers are 3–4 inches across; plants stay shorter under short days and may grow taller under longer days when growth regulators are not used. ## Siting Choose a sunny position and use Miss Sunshine in a mixed planter or as a compact solo planting. Its pollen-free flowers and fast secondary flush suit a tidy, repeat display. ## Maintenance Keep the growing mix evenly moist and allow excess water to drain. Remove faded stems as the display declines; this cultivar is grown as a seasonal annual.
