"Charlie S." expounded:

Bought a two annual type sunflower plants at a local garden shop. They
are
10" -12" in height. The top flowers have blossomed and now have shriveled
up. My sister spoke with someone who knew about flowers and they told her
that I should cut off the top flower(s) once they get this way to let
others
grow in. Is this what I should do?


Absolutely. There are latent buds in the leaf joints, you'll get many
smaller flowers if you deadhead.

Thanks for the info! Will clip them tomorrow.
