      mammoth giant sunflower – head is folding out

      My mammoth giant sunflowers want to fold up like a taco seed side out. The issue I described is one that I have had in the recent past and not so much currently. I raise Mammoth brand sunflowers with good success 23″ dia. heads are not uncommon and lots of ribbons from the fair. I have one head that may be showing this issue. I will keep a chronological photo summary and send if it doesn’t go back to normal. Opps hit send to soon. I hope you can tell by the pictures that this head is folding other wise healthy and growing well. Not as tall or large in dia. as I normally get should start with new seeds.

      Hello, from these photos, the plant does not appear to be affected by any pathogen (insect or disease) but appears to be suffering from a mutation. However, these are quite common in sunflowers and do not affect the organoleptic qualities of the seeds, which are still edible.
