Why is the head of my sunflower falling toward the ground?

Question

it is in direct sunlight all day, and gets watered everyday. As it gets bigger it gets closer to the ground. Does it need to be staked, or maybe tie a string to a steak in the ground to hold it up? This is the first time I have grown them so any advise would be helpfull. thanks

Answer 1

The head is too heavy for the stem. Tie just under the head to a stake
