Requires Full Sun
-
The name "sunflower" says it all. Sunflowers need full sun to bloom and should not be planted outdoors until after the last frost. Plant sunflowers in the vegetable garden, large pots or with perennials. Just make sure they don't shade other sun-loving plants. Sunflowers vary widely in size. Choose one appropriate for the space.

Indoor Sunflowers
-
Growing sunflowers indoors is a popular gardening project for elementary school teachers. Sunflowers will germinate and grow in cool, indoor settings with limited sun.
Bottom Line
-
Sunflowers do best in full sun and indoor flowers must eventually be transplanted outdoors to thrive. Sunflowers require little care and grow in almost any soil. They prefer even moisture, although some varieties are very drought-tolerant and may grow wild in fields.
