# Hello! I’m coming here very concerned for my sunflower plant ☹️ it…

_Posted by 30andGardening on 2023-09-14_

Hello! I’m coming here very concerned for my sunflower plant ☹️ it seems to be gaining more brown spots on its lower leaves which I thought was a watering issue at first but that doesn’t seem to be the problem.. can anyone help diagnose? Someone said fungal and I just want a second opinion and also some remedies if so. Thanks 🌻🤎

This happens to my sunflowers every year, but it never really harms the plant. I don’t know the reason, but whatever it is, it won’t kill your sunflower.😊💛

😅 what a relief to hear! I honestly didn’t think it was doing too much harm because I have yellow petals starting to peak through the buds but the fact that it keeps spreading like a disease made me worried! Thanks so much 🌻🤎
