Will Sunflowers Still Bloom If Tops Were Eaten Off?

The deer ate the tops off my sunflowers, will they still flower? They were not up but about 6 inches.

Probably no this late in the season. Maybe if it had happened earlier...

I do not think they will bloom but it is not too late to plant more seeds. You will have to figure a way to keep the deer away or the same thing will happen every planting/year.

I just went through this I was so proud of my sunflowers I had some up about 2ft and something ate the tops off of them and just left the stock look like sticks, anyway a week earlier the same happened and I didnt pull them up I just left them and today I see new growth on the plants it has split and made 2 tops growing double heads.

Good morning!
We just had this happen to our seedlings. Our bottle fed calf got into our green room and ate the tops off our sunflower seedlings. Ooooh, I was so upset as they were a wonderful project for our 6 and 7 year old boys.

Seeing that someone had posted that they did regrow after a similar situation, I'm going to make it a research project for the boys.
I'll follow up with our research results. :)
