Answer
Sometimes hybrid sunflower seeds tend to mutate and create unexpected results, such as reverting back to the wild sunflower which has multiple heads. This can also happen if exposed to growth regular herbicides.

Here is a link to one of the 60 original wild sunflowers:

Yours may look different because it is a hyrbid (mix between two different cultivars).
