Product Description
The EOS F1 Hybrid Sunflower (Extra Dwarf) is one of the shortest and fastest-flowering sunflowers available, growing to only 30 cm tall. Despite its small size, it produces bold golden-yellow blooms with dark centres that bring a cheerful splash of colour to pots, patios, balconies, and small garden spaces. Its pollen-free habit makes it perfect for allergy-sensitive households and tidy indoor displays.
EOS is a rapid grower, producing flowers in as little as 45 days after summer sowing, or around 55 days in cooler winter conditions. This makes it one of the quickest sunflowers to bloom, ensuring a rewarding gardening experience with fast results. Its compact size and early flowering habit also make it highly suitable for commercial pot production, schools, children’s gardens, or decorative borders where space is limited.
Though small in stature, EOS F1 produces a large primary flower head, followed by numerous side-branching blooms, extending the display throughout the season. Whether grown in containers or directly in the ground, this little sunflower punches well above its weight in terms of colour and performance.

Growing Tips
Sow directly into pots or garden beds, as sunflowers dislike transplanting. EOS thrives in full sun and benefits from deep, less frequent watering to strengthen its taproot system. Plants remain compact in small pots, but in larger containers or garden beds they will grow slightly taller and produce more secondary blooms. A fortnightly application of liquid fertiliser will boost growth and flower production.
Harvest & Display
EOS F1’s compact size and pollen-free blooms make it perfect for clean, allergy-friendly indoor arrangements. Outdoors, its bright golden flowers add charm to borders, patios, and children’s gardens. Quick, easy, and reliable, this extra dwarf hybrid ensures a burst of cheerful colour in record time.
