Well I accidentally planted a sunflower seed and it grew to have 17 total (for now :)) flower heads.It's very unusual to me so has anybody heard of this or knows wether its a mutation or there is such a type of sunflower?

There are some sunflower varieties that grow multiple flower heads. I don't know the name however, but it is not a mutation. I had one sunflower plant that was at least 10 feet tall and I stopped counting flower heads after 20.

I grew one like that once... it wasn't as tall as an average plant and had a flower at each point where there was a leaf. The seed came from wild bird seed... I imagine it was a strain chosen, or a mutation created for large scale production.
I have a pic around here somewhere, did have seeds - more than 8 yrs ago now. Take a pic of yours if you can & save some seeds when ripe... they're cool !!

There are also wild species that do that..I'm looking out of my window now at one that has 20 or so on it...and another on the side ofmy house the same way..they are wild self voluntary plants not from bird seed..we have them all over the p[lace here in Central Texas..

it relies upon on the form of sunflower, many varieties could have distinctive blooms, and there are a number of shade variations which could be had besides, my well-liked is a sunflower which grows multiples with a yellow and crimson variagated bloom
