We have sunflowers planted in three different sections of our yard. Two out of the three are doing great, the last one not so much. The plants have the height and tons of buds but none are blooming, plus I noticed that the leaves are starting to bubble and curl. The plants did have some pests a month or so ago and they were treated with Sevin like our others but I can’t figure out what else is going on. Any thoughts????

Looks like Thrips damage or mite damage
Ok thank you. I looked closer this morning and saw webbing so I guess I need to do another round of Sevin.

For mites you will find Neem Oil a LOT better than Sevin. In fact, mites of all kinds are resistant to Sevin and it does little against them if anything at all.
