The process repeats the next day, as sunflowers return to their ‘starting’ position, i.e. facing east. Ancient Greeks knew about this phenomenon, and they called such plants Heliotropium, meaning “sun turn”. Today, we call this phenomenon heliotropism. So, how do sunflowers face the sun? Also, do all sunflowers face the sun?\n
