Plant Features
Ballad Sunflower Plants yield nicely branched dwarf plants that are ideal for containers or small garden areas. Pollen-free, you can even grow these indoors, not having to worry about the mess or your allergies! Growing yellow, and then turning to bronze, this variety is exceptionally mildew resistant, making it appropriate for hot, humid climates, such as Florida or South Texas. Expect 4-5-inch blossoms on 24 inch stems that will bloom in about 4 weeks!
