For a sunflower to truly bloom, you will need to make sure it is planted outdoors somewhere it can get direct sunlight. Sunflowers can grow very large and tall, so be careful not to plant them too close to other plants as they may cause damaging shade from the sun.
Once they bloom, you can admire the beautiful yellow blooms and even harvest the seeds to eat as a snack.

The best way to start growing tomatoes is to plant your seeds indoors first or get a starter plant from your local gardening store.
