Sunflower Big Smile is an extra-dwarf, extra-early sunflower variety engineered for compact growing spaces and rapid blooming. This open-pollinated selection produces cheerful 3 to 6-inch golden-yellow flowers with striking black centers on single, manageable stems. The day-neutral growth pattern ensures consistent flowering regardless of daylight hours, while pollen-bearing blooms actively support bee and pollinator populations. Exceptional versatility defines this variety. Container cultivation yields plants 10 to 15 inches tall, perfect for 4 to 6-inch pots, window boxes, and patio displays. Garden bed plantings reach 12 to 24 inches, accommodating small beds, borders, and mixed plantings. This adaptability makes Big Smile ideal for urban gardeners, balcony cultivation, and space-limited landscapes seeking substantial ornamental impact. Performance metrics are outstanding: approximately 80% or better germination rates and blooming in just 60 days—among the fastest-maturing sunflower varieties available. This rapid development enables successive plantings for extended seasonal color and continuous pollinator attraction throughout the growing season.
