For many of us, sunflowers are a rite of passage into gardening. I expect you might recall growing lofty sunflowers at school or with a family member, hopefully with some success, at least in memory. By summer, sunflowers can reach remarkable heights of 10, 12, or even 20 feet tall. Impressive, certainly, but not exactly suited to small yards.
Fortunately for us, many compact dwarf sunflowers provide bold color and cheerful blooms, but are much smaller in terms of height. This means that even if you only have a tiny terrace or narrow balcony, you can still have a go at growing these iconic summer flowers without any worry about space.
