What does this mean?
This shows how the plant is typically used in a container combo — Thriller (tall focal point), Filler (mid-height mass), or Spiller (trailing over the edge).
Tip: match plant habit to the role for the best designs.
Bring big-summer energy to patios, borders, and balcony pots with SunBelievable Brown Eyed Girl Helianthus. This compact sunflower covers itself in golden petals and rich brown eyes for months, without the lanky stems or messy seed drop of traditional types. Seedless by design, it channels all its vigor into nonstop color.
Use it as a bright edging, a container thriller, or massed for a radiant, pollinator-friendly glow. Heat-tough and tidy, it reaches about 3 feet tall and wide, staying dense and floriferous from early summer to frost.
SunBelievable Brown Eyed Girl Helianthus Care
Give 6–8+ hours of direct sun daily. Plant in well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a pH around 6.0–7.5; in containers, use a high-quality potting mix. Water when the top 1 inch of soil is dry; in peak heat, check containers daily and water deeply to keep blooms coming.
Feed at planting with a slow-release balanced fertilizer, then supplement every 2–4 weeks with a liquid bloom booster during active growth. No deadheading is required, though a light trim can shape plants midseason. Grow as an annual in most regions; in frost-free zones 9–11, it may continue longer into winter until a cold snap.
SunBelievable Brown Eyed Girl Helianthus Spacing
For a single specimen, allow 24–30 inches of space. For a vibrant border or mass, plant 18–24 inches on center. Keep 18 inches back from paths to accommodate the natural spread.
In containers, choose a 14–18 inch wide pot at least 12 inches deep with drainage; plant one per pot for best display, and place where it receives full sun and good airflow.
