Dwarf sunflowers in bloom

My 2021 Sunflowers, two healthy flowering plants and a failing runt

This year I managed to get my dwarf Ms Mars sunflowers sown much earlier than I did last year. Now in early August two of them have been looking good, but for some reason the third sunflower seems to have failed somewhat.

I’ve not idea why the third sunflower failed to thrive like the other two. They’ve all been watered on the same schedule, when looking a bit dry so a little water every 2-3 days typically.

Maybe number 3 was simple a weaker seed.

We’re still getting to enjoy some pretty flowers on our balcony.
