    Yes. The roots will grow through the pot so you don't have to disturb them re planting.

    Loo roll tubes are just as good and free (kinda,well,you know..).

    Old carborad drinks cups from take aways are good too as they give a longer root run

    I've never bothered about disturbing the roots with sunflowers. The birds sow the flippin things ALL over my garden - I just pull them up & transplant them to where I want them. The birds are very good at sowing my sunflowers for me, some of the resulting flowerheads have been multi-amazing.
