Can you grow a sunflower with sunflower seeds?

Answer 1

If the sunflowers are not a hybrid variety, then you can save the seed by cutting the flowers when the seeds are fully formed and loose in the head, drying the whole head for two or so weeks, rubbing them from the head, drying for a further couple of weeks, and replanting in the spring. you can use hybrid varieties as long as long as they are not sterile in which case you wont get any seeds anyway. you just wont get the same flower vigor and or good looks. zaf.

Answer 2

Yes, you can definitly grow a sunflower from a sunflower seed.

Sunflowers only grow from a seed to maturity, and then to produce their own seeds once. Once the sunflower's seeds have matured and fallen off the flower, the plant dies.
