"A great long season cut flower for the wife. But I like it especialy because the seed production is great for added birdseed. Easy to grow and I've found that it will grow when other sunflowers struggle."

"Sunflowers are my favorite flowers, and the Teddy Bear is tops of the tops. My sunflowers are already taking off, providing gorgeous blooms, and am looking forward to a beautiful summer of enjoying these babies. The seeds were easy to start and the plants have been healthy and strong. This is my first year growing them, but their performance thus far has already guaranteed them a spot in the garden next year!"

"We grow Teddy Bear sunflowers every year in our front flower garden, they are very consistent performers. They get lots of compliments from people walking down our street. The attached picture is from 2007, this single plant had no less than a dozen blooms on it! Spectacular."

"It really stands up to it's name. The Teddy Bear Sunflower has has bushy, leafy stems, and a pretty, yellow, sunflower that awed all my freinds. It is a slow grower, but totally worth it in the end. It seemed to tolerate illnesses well, and I reccomend this plant to anyone who loves gardening, at any age."
