Yes, even the taller ones have been grown in pots successfully. But I would stick to the smaller varieties under 3-4 feet tall. They can make a spectacular focal point.

Look for dwarf sunflowers. Some newer hybrids like 'Pacino Cola' get only 12-16 inches tall. The size of bigger sunflowers is restricted to the size of pot - it's just that if they get too tall, the pot can topple. Other nice hybrids would be 'Sundance Kid,' 'Dwarf Teddy Bear,' etc.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee
