I don't know about yours, Lucy ..... but mine actually get thick stalks on them. I have never tried planting tender branches. I would definitely wait until it gets bigger and you get some hardy growth there. Love your orange colored blooms! I've never grown that variety. I am also growing some dwarf Pacino Sunflowers that are rather small and cute. Like a mini-me version of my large Mexican Sunflowers. MIne haven't gotten taller than 18" so far. Big blooms for such a small plant! :-) Here's a photo.
