‘Kindergarten’ the new sunflower from Burpee

‘Kindergarten’ is my take home from the Philadelphia Flower Show 2026. Potted plants at the show are a tad pricey. Enter the Burpee stall where seed packets are marked with a MSRP! Of course, there were plenty of boutique plants from Thomas Jefferson or Martha Washington to commemorate our nation’s 250th. But, with my small gardening space, my eye lit on these adorable 10” high sunflower seeds.

We know sunflowers are food for pollinators and birds. But, mine often flop over. I’m excited to try this tidy, new variety.
