Transplanting Nearly Grown Sunflowers?

| I planted "Autumn Beauty" sunflowers and while some of them get enough sun, those in the "corner" don't get enough and are therefore only "knee high." I wanted to dig them up and move them to a sunnier spot but didn't know if they hated to be moved? |

| Yes, they do hate to be moved. That's why they are generally direct-seeded. |

| You might have success transplanting your sunflowers if they are ornamentals, but I agree with Blueheron: the hybrid sunflowers that are raised to bear seeds for oil or that are salted for commercial consumption will not transplant successfully. |

| autumn beauty is heirloom. i got seeds from the Seed savers exchange. anyway, it's the besides the point. regardless, i agree with everyone. my experience is that they don't take digging up transplant well. alot of time flowers with less sun does bloom , but they are not as good as the ones in sunnier spot. i think you should just leave it and see. |
