Im thinking either over watered or lack of light. I usually water my sunflowers when the soil is dry and I keep it in a pretty sunny area like outside on a table for example.

Thank you so much, I’ll try putting it in a more sunny area

actually this looks almost sunburned and under watered, usually overwatering doesn’t result in fading, rather yellowing. it’s hard to tell the difference but with the addition of the crispy leaf it looks sunburned to me. is it in full sun already?

So I have it in my Terrance but it doesn’t get sun the entire day. Since the Terrance has some shade I would say maybe from 7 AM-11 AM
