Can sunflowers grow to full potential in a flower pot?

It depends on the size of the sunflower, and even more so on the size of the pot. If a smaller variety is put into a large enough pot that it doesn`t get rootbound, and proper nutrients and moisture, and sunlight is maintained, yes. If you grow large varieties, it is going to take a very large pot. You can grow healthy ones in smaller pots, but that will limit their maximum growth.

I transplanted a few sunflowers from my vegetable garden to a clay pot this spring. Right now they are barely 2 feet high and have small flowers.
