{"product_id":"music-box-sunflower","title":"Dwarf Music Box Sunflower","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is truly dwarf with uniformly reduced proportions. Plants are multi-branching and grow only 24-36\" tall. They bloom in a splendid range of yellows and creams and even mahogany bi-colors, all with brown centers.
