I had a very funny surprise this morning! My sunflower grew 4 inches overnight! I know for a fact that I didn't spot any mice, because I was asleep :) 4 mice were spotted in my garden and after the first 2 I got a "woohoo" notification saying that my sunflower had grown 2 inches! Is this a new thing? Or a glitch? :)

Neither. Summer mce and ducks spotted in your garden during the first hour the sunflower is fully grown add height, and always have.

From the News Post: "for the first hour after the flower appears, you have the opportunity to make it grow taller by spotting and/or attracting Summer Mice & Mallards. Each one you either spot in another Garden, or is spotted in your Garden, will cause your leftmost Sunflower to grow by 2 inches (or by 4 inches if it's a Summer Pygmy Mouse.)"

So your first two mice were spotted in that hour and the sunflower grew. Then the other mice were spotted after the hour was over, and so it didn't grow any further.

Really?? How silly of me, I never knew that! :D Thanks for putting me straight! X

How long please  from planting a sunflower to the flower appearing?

24 hours, if you don't dust it.

Your best bet, if you want to try to grow one for a pot, is to plant it when you are ready to hunt, then diamond dust it to fully grown immediately.

thankyou very much ;-)
