SunBuzz Sunflower

SunBuzz is a compact, upright annual sunflower that keeps the display going with secondary yellow flowers after its first bloom. PanAmerican Seed lists it at 12–20 inches tall and 8–12 inches wide, a scale that fits patio pots, raised planters, and the front of a sunny bed. ## Garden use The breeder describes SunBuzz as a pot sunflower with a compact habit and a strong show of side blooms. Its flowers can appear from early spring through autumn when planting dates and local conditions allow; in most gardens, expect the main show during warm weather. Use it where the branching stems can be seen without crowding neighboring plants. ## Growing conditions Give the plant sun and a container or bed with room for its 8–12 inch spread. PanAmerican’s [SunBuzz product page](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/060000001036969/sunflower-sunbuzz/) reports a 6–8 week finish after transplant for commercial production; home-garden timing varies with temperature and day length. The seed producer lists an upright habit and identifies the plant as *Helianthus annuus*. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly watered while the plant grows, and remove spent heads if you prefer a tidy pot. SunBuzz is an annual; pull the plant after frost or when flowering has ended. Its compact stature makes it easier to place than taller, single-stem sunflowers.
