Dwarf Sunflower Seeds. Dwarf sunflowers (Helianthus annuus hybrids) are similar to full-size sunflowers, although they may produce multiple flowers per stem, depending on the cultivar. They are annuals that die after they bloom. Their small size makes them well-suited to growing in small pots, and they can be grown indoors or outside. You can even grow sunflowers on a balcony.
