I was under the impression that sunflowers followed the sun, with their

I have one in the front garden which totally ignores the sun and seems to
look in the other direction!

Is this normal?

My grandmother used to plant a row of sunflowers at the sunny end of
her garden to help shade certain vegetable plants from "all day" sun.
