How should I protect my sunflowers(mamoth) from rabbits. Will rabbits eat them when they sprout? Thanks

Rabbits will chew on your sunflower plants unless you protect them while they're small. You can just make a cylinder out of chicken wire or hardware cloth and set it over the sunflower. Once they've grown up to 12-18", the leaves will be out of reach of the rabbits and you can remove the protection.

Best wishes with your sunflowers!
