How many sunflower heads grown on one plant?

I planted some giant sunflower seeds but unfortunately only one plant survived. It is about seven feet high and has five sunflowers on it. Is this common? I thought only one flower grew on each stock.

How many sunflower heads grown on one plant?
my bird feeder got blown loose from a wind storm, next thing I knew there wer sunflowers sprouting. I don't really like them but let several grow anyway. One of them had 10 blooms of differant sizes of course they weighed the stalk down so I had to stake it. I was very surprised by all this as I didn't think about bird food sprouting. and never saw sunflowers with so many blooms. Now I have a new garden story for my friends. Guess you never know what mother nature will decide to do. That's what makes gardening so interesting.
Reply:wow, usually it's only one flower per plant.
Reply:no it's not true cuz in our garden our gardener planted lot's of them and they grew like7/6 feet tall.It's on u hou you take kare of those flowers.
Reply:Depends on the variety of sunflower. I've got some bloomin in my yard right now. Some will have only one flower....some will have many. Depends on the seeds you bought and if the plants came true from seed.
Reply:one per plant
Reply:A plant can bear many flowers.
Reply:I've had five or six heads on plants - but like yours, I only 1 or 2 out of the 10 planted ended up surviving.
