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.

How lovely, Kat, I've never heard of that? This was in France? I used
to like the way roses are planted at the end of rows of vines until I
realised it was to show mildew up more quickly!
