Sunflowers are a tap root and need space to root down and lots of sun. They don’t do well inside or in containers

I agree. Sunflowers do best outside with lots of room to grow.  
Typically they don’t do well inside.

Sunflowers thrive outside in the wild and not great in pots.  
My tip is to plant it outside and put it in part shade and part sun.
