The Teddy Bear sunflower thrives in full sunlight and requires ample light during its growth and development stages. Its stems and leaves grow vigorously, producing brightly colored, glossy, tongue-shaped flowers.

Teddy Bear sunflowers are specifically bred for ornamental purposes. They maintain a stable shape, exhibit strong adaptability, and are easy to cultivate and care for. Typically propagated from seeds, they can be sown year-round. When grown in pots, they are not picky about soil and can thrive in general garden soil. However, they prefer loose soil enriched with nutrient-rich substrate, similar to what’s used for maintaining Chlorophytum chinensis.
