Best Answer

Unless you grow a dwarf type of sunflower, such as "Teddy bear" you would not grow them in pots. Most sunflowers grow tall, and become rather top-heavy. Sunflowers need lots of room to grow--including the roots, which need to spread out beneath the soil in order to anchor the plant. Even muli-stemmed sunflowers, whose individual flowers are fairly small (for a sunflower), get top-heavy because of the number of flowers on the stem. So, if you absolutely MUST grow one in a pot, select the shortest cultivar you can, and still put that in an over-sized pot. So, sunflowers grow better in the ground, but it is possible and challenging to grow them in pots.

Yes. If the roots are cramped, the sunflowers will not be able to grow as large, but will still grow.

Sunflowers are often too large to grow indoors. Some varieties are 12 to 15 feet tall. You could probably grown smaller varieties in a indoor room with floor to ceiling windows.

In order to grow sunflowers in the winter they must be given a deep pot, plenty of organic material in the soil, and at least 6hrs under a full-spectrum light (a fluorescent light will do). Sunflowers are susceptible to cold. The soil temp must NOT be less than 55F. Do remember that you have to select the variety carefully, as many sunflowers are very tall and wide.
