I've seen something like this done with beans that have a circle of strings connecting to a common pole to form a sort of teepee.
I'm attempting to grow some hops along my deck at the moment to form a bit of a privacy screen. Probably a bit too few for this year, but we will see how they do by the end of the summer and next year if they survive the winter.
We call this a "Berså" in sweden, was very popular in the past and for some reason went out of style.. Granted, we don't use sunflowers, we just use regular hedges so it's permanent.
