Hi! I am growing dwarf sunflowers from seed and one has several smaller heads right under the main one. Also has some going down the stem where the leaves attach. I am concerned about all the little ones growing right under the big one. Should I trim them off??

Sunflower with multiple heads
Not at all! If you trim off the main flower-head once it's gone to seed, those extra blossoms will shine on and keep your sunflower going long after most others would have fallen over.
