G'day, I have planted about 2 dozen sunflower seeds weeks ago which have now
flowered, but probably half of them are loosing their petals. Is there any
reason for this? Cheers. |

Er, yes.
They don't last long -- probably less than a week before flowering off. Leave
the plants where they are untilt he head dries, and you will have seeds for
next year. Leave them a bit too long and you will suddenly have a back yard
of happy parrots.
