They will stay good for about 2 weeks. Cut off the stems all the way to the bloom neck. Float them in a large bowl or multiple bowls of water face up. They look beautiful that way.

Sunflowers droop when they are hot and dry. Mine do that during the day considering there’s been no rain and 105 degree heat index. Early morning with a fresh watering they’ll be standing tall.

I changed water early morning!! :-(
Bowl Leader
Use a sharp clean knife and cut about an inch off the bottom of the stem. Always cut diagonally, not straight across. These are dehydrated, so ends of stems may have dried out and can't pull water.
They may have wilt, which is bacterial. If they dont perk with fresh cut and fresh water, toss.

They were upright when I bought them from the shop though..

So sunflowers usually need sun as well,even cut. Try putting by a window. If that plus fresh cut and no sugar water doesn't help, then you just got a bad batch from the store.

I thrashed them. Next time I’ll do that I felt sad as the flowers were really good
Looking..
