The blooms and foliage are beautiful. The plant is about a foot tall and the opened blooms are about 4 inches in diameter. Bright yellow and deep black in the middle. There are other blooms not yet opened. I'm afraid I am going to kill it. After transplanting will it come back next year? Will it live inside? Thanks.
How do you transplant a potted sunflower that has three plants in the pot?
yeah, your stuck with them in the pot... keep them well watered and fertilized, low on nitrogen. .. to conserve on watering plant the pot and all in the ground. the surrounding soil will help to keep the plant roots cooler and protected, and the pot will not get blown over by winds.
Sunflowers are an annual.. so they will not come back next year, the seeds from the flowers may be viable and you can replant them directly in the ground.
happy gardening:)
Reply:If I had such a plant, I would carefully remove only the plants which have not opened yet, and leave the main one untouched.
I think the sunflower does not live very well inside. It likes to grow up, flower, and its flower has lots of seeds. Then it dies.
