I have about 25 sunflowers growing. They're about 3 weeks old and are planted in a propagator. They are too big for their sections.

I planted two seeds in each section, so I will try to separate them, but don't know what sort of pot to plant them all in. I thought it would be nice to plant them at the front of our house when it's warmer.

This pot: Flower Pot - 15cm. from Homebase.co.uk is only 79p, but that would come to £19 for all of them.

Or what about Palladian Pot - Terracotta - 65cm from Homebase.co.uk ? How many do you think could grow in that?

Thank you in advance!

I take that back. I forgot to double the number for the pairs of plants in the 25 pots, so that's 50 plants growing. Should I just thin them out? It feels like a waste though.

Most sunflowers grow too large for a container.

Why not in the ground?

This would do them for a few weeks then they would outgrow the pot. These
are large plants (2 to 3 m) that get quite top heavy you are not going to
have them grow to full size and remain upright in a small pot.
