Sunflowers

Hi! Next year I want to redecorate my garden. However, I have got a problem because it is in a shady position. I wanted to grow there some sunflowers, especially I wanted to order this one: https ://gardenseedsmarket.com/yellow-sunflower-seeds-helianthus-annuus .html, but in the description there is written that it should be grown in sunny position. Could you help me and tell me if there is any variety of sunflower that can be grown in shady position? If I order this one will it survive?

Is this area always shaded or just part of the day?

Here are two clips from articles.

Sunflowers grow best in locations with full sun. They are remarkably tough and will grow in any kind of soil as long as it is not waterlogged.

Rich soil is important, when growing giant varieties. Contrary to it's name, we found they will tolerate some shade as we put them against an east wall of our house every year. However, they will grow their best in full sun. Deep roots help sunflowers to withstand most droughts.

Hope this helps
Blessings
