This one asks for a five gallon pot. Balcony Beauty tops out around 15 inches and stays tidy, about 9 to 10 inches wide, but the flower is not scaled down with it: a proper 6 to 7 inch golden head on a stem short enough to sit on a railing without snapping in the wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat makes it the sunflower for the people who think they cannot grow one. Apartment balconies, front steps, a window box, the corner of a deck. It blooms in about 50 days, so a seed sown in June is flowering by August, and the bees find it just the same as they find the nine footers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe pack these big on purpose.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dwarf sunflower seed is small and we would rather you had too much than too little, so the packets run 100 and 250 seeds instead of the usual pinch.
