Congrats!! You can save sunflower seeds for re-planting or for eating. If you are replanting, there is no need to do anything except wait for the sunflower head to die back and the buds to turn brown. From here, you can pry them off, and let them dry, and store in a cool dry place to plant next spring. Many people cut off the head after it dies back or the birds will get to the seeds first (unless you don’t mind!).
