If they are commercially packaged, they might get through but I have to ask, Why? Sunflowers are common in Europe.
 
my grandma is sick and I just want to make her smile if I send some :)

it is to grow a sunflower ...

Your letter will most likely be opened and the seeds confiscated.

You can do these three things:

- Put them in an envelope, send them by mail, cross your fingers. -> most probably confiscated when they hit Canada's international sorting.
- Package them properly, label them, fill a costums declaration, send them by mail, cross your fingers -> they can be confiscated in Europe.
- Package them properly, label them, send them by courier -> if they accept them, it is because they can deliver them.

Not really. Seeds can be classified as a potential spread of invasive species, disease, catastrophic bug infestations, etc, so they can very well just discard them. Some countries are tougher than others....
 
Bringing in/sending seeds and plant products into Germany (and this is the same for other EU member countries) from a non-EU country, is prohibited.

You may want to consider ordering sunflower seeds from an EU country for your grandmom
 
The importation of plants, seeds, agricultural inputs and agricultural products is regulated and is subject to a number of laws of different countries. 100% it will not get through.
