Do not cut off the heads. There are multi headed varieties but if you want one big flower go for a Russian Giant next year.

Do not cut them as they wont reflower. Straighten them up as best you can and tie to a cane or stake. The flower will try bend to the sun and look a bit bent but better than nothing.

Sunflowers can grow over 6 feet tall and that takes time. Buds may come before your summer break.

Hey yall, I’m growing some sunflowers in a 3liter jug in my dorm room. I planted them in late February. There are 2 autumn beauties in there and 1 mammoth sunflower. They’re all roughly 2 1/2feet tall. It’s now nearing the end of April. Yall know how much longer it will take for them to bud? Thanks a bunch!
