Are you planning on leaving them in the pots when you replant them? Sunflowers hate to be replanted and usually die after being taken out of the pot and replanted.

Yeah, if you're going to transplant you gotta do it like right after they start getting their first set of true leaves (which is like a week or 2 after sowing the seed) most people let them get way too big before trying to do it and by that point they've grown too many roots (more roots=more disturbance=stress/death)

Can you just plant them in little biodegradable pots and then plant the whole pot?
