Why is this Sunflower so droopy? I give it a good drink nearly every morning. I'm beginning to think that maybe this spot next to the house isn't a good place for most plants. It's on the sunny side and gets a good dose of sun every day in the afternoon. It didn't start out as a place where I planned to put plants, I was not into it at that time. It was just a place to pile dirt pushed up by moles last year. I left it and when the pile started growing weeds and looked depressing, I just spread the dirt out and started putting plants there.
