I’d say it’s pretty normal. Some get a little sunburn, especially the bottom half.

Take the burnt leaves off or leave them?

Ok so I wasn’t wrong I figured it got too hot we hit over 90’s last few days and fro rest this week.

Yeah, I just pick the ugly leaves off. My sunflowers growing in a large pot tend to have uglier leaves. The ones in the ground get chomped on a bit but it doesn’t affect the flower.

It’s normal, I’d just say sun scorching which there isn’t much you can do with it being outside. It shouldn’t kill it

So should I take the leaves off or leave them?
