Do you pull the sunflower stalks out of the ground?

Yes, sunflower stalks can be pulled out of the ground after the plants have finished blooming and the seeds have been harvested. It's best to wait until the stalks are dry and brittle, making them easier to remove. If you want to clear the area for new planting or to tidy up the garden, pulling them out can be an effective method. Alternatively, you can cut them down at the base and leave the roots to decompose in the soil.
