Growing Tiger Teddy for the first time this year. I wanted to add it to my Lofthouse and Arikara grex but my wife is way into cut flowers so this year it only grew in her garden. So far ahem, no seed in Western MT. On the plus side we are having a fantastically late fall and maybe it still will produce seed. However, I cannot say it is well adapted here. Hopefully my wife will produce some seed and give me some of them and then next year I can add it to my grex and maybe come up with a better adapted to MT version someday.

Notably Tiger Teddy is the only OSSI sunflower so far.
Western Montana garden, glacial lake Missoula sediment lacustrian parent material and shallow 7" silty clay loam mollisoil topsoil sometimes with added sand in places. Zone 6A with 100 to 130 frost free days
