We've lost two similarly sized sunflowers, and our biggest tomato plant just snapped in half too :(
Not sure it can be saved tbh.

Sunflowers don't transplant as far as I know. I took the kids up to the allotment on sunday with genuine apprenhension to see the sunflowers after the 40+ mph gusts last friday. Amazingly , despite being the best part of 9 ft tall they were all still just about ok. One was bent over so much we lopped the head off and took it home to put in a vase.

If they're close to opening just chop the heads and enjoy them as cut flowers at home in a jar with water.

Strip the stem, dry the stalk for a year, then varnish it and Hey Presto! A walking stick.

@hugo7
Think I already know the answer, but is there anyway of planting a sunflower that's been snapped off by this savage wind.
Routing hormone?
Genuinely quite sad about it. Loads of flowers on their way too.
