By the end of the century, seeds had made their way back to North America in the hands of Russian and East European immigrants. Seed companies began to advertise Mammoth Russian sunflowers around Commercial processing of sunflower oil in North America began in the mids. The cake left over after pressing the seeds for oil became a useful feed for livestock.

In , the government of Canada began licensing a Russian cultivar called Peredovik for its extremely high oil content, and the first hybrids began to appear in the s.

Sunflowers are members of the family Asteraceae, which all form a composite head capitulum made of masses of simple flowers florets that each produce a seed if successfully pollinated.
Sunflowers typically have between 1, to 1, florets, and potential seeds, per head. The capitulum is surrounded by petals, making the whole structure seem like one single flower. This family is vast, and includes daisies, chicories, dandelions, and, strangely, lettuce. Sunflowers earned their name due to a curious process called heliotropism. During the budding stage of growth, the heads of nearly all sunflowers face east at dawn, and follow the sun throughout the day, facing west at dusk.
A flexible piece of the stem the pulvinis , just below the flower bud enables this curious movement. One other remarkable ability of the sunflower is its use in extracting toxic ingredients from soil.
Not only can the plants draw up lead and arsenic, but they were used after the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl to draw up the radioactive chemicals cesium, uranium, and strontium.
