Hello all, as you can see I'm the newbie,     :wave:   I grow sunflowers every year, some toy shop and the big guys  as well, if they are leggy I just hold them up with canes till the stems thicken up.

saddad:
Always a good idea... welcome to the site.

Beersmith:
I have observed that many sunflowers seem to have a smooth section on the lower stem. Higher up the stem shows hairs similar to tomatoes.  I've always considered it safe to plant up to that line. I've never risked going deeper.

Leggy sunflowers seem to  react to their own straggly growth and after a period outdoors and in breezy conditions get a bit more robust and straighten up to a good degree.
