Sunflowes tend to die from 3 things: lack of sun (name's a giveaway), not enough water and too much water. They're a bit cranky really.

Whoever told you not to over-water it might be to blame. They actually use up quite a bit of water. Their soil should always be moist though not sodden.

hope that helps!

You may have a compact variety which is probably dying off or have you planted in well in a reasonable sized conmtainer? Sometimes sunflowers are supplied in tiny pots with little soil and that is where the problems start!

Sunflowers are actually a very easy and fun plant to nurture, as many children will testify!

Bigger pot with more soil i would say,they use a lot of nutrients!
