"Deadheading", or removing dead heads, would serve no purpose on the common sunflower. They are annual plants, and thus will die at the end of the year, and will not grow any new heads later on. Removing the flower head on a still growing plant may make it taller and live longer, but would also destroy the aesthetic aspects of growing one in the first place.

∙ 14y agoDeadheading won't make more flowers grow and you will be taking away the seed that many birds enjoy. We get yellow finches hanging upside down on our sunflowers, eating the seeds. We also get hummingbirds around them, so I think they are best left. We take a few heads off in the autumn, to collect the seeds for the following year, and leave the rest for bird food.

∙ 12y agoThough cultivated sunflowers should not be deadheaded and as it will not force them to rebloom and the seeds will be useless. If you are growing a wild variety and see new buds forming and would like those to reach their full potential snip about an inch or so down from the spent bloom with garden shears. The seeds from the spent flower will not be useful unless left to mature on the stalk. The back of the flower should be yellowish-brown when the seeds are ready.

∙ 11y agoit is good to deadhead flowers because the whole goal of a flower is to reproduce the plant. When dead-heading, you are stopping that process, forcing the plant to try and flower again. This gives you longer blooming periods to enjoy your flowers.

∙ 9y agoYou should deadhead daylilies because it helps the next day's blossoms open better. Gardeners that exhibit daylilies do. However you need not bother with Stella d'oro daylilies.

Will sunflowers come back next year?
Domestic sunflowers are annuals. The plant will die off completely at the end of each year. If the seeds are left on the head to fall off and scatter, it is possible that new sunflowers will grow there the following year. Some species of wild sunflowers, as well as Jerusalem artichokes, have a tap root that will allow the plant to grow back the following year.
