Sunflowers are quite hardy. They were domesticated by the natives of
what is now the north eastern US, IIRC, and we certainly grew them
when living in Manitoba, which climate wise I would guess matches up
with something like Thrice-blessed. So the lunars certainly could
grow sunflowers, the only question is do they have something else
that is more efficient?

Not to mention that they have associate earth cults of their own. Perhaps only the lower (Lodrilli) classes use stinking mineral oils, while the upper crust use fine vegetable oils?
Unless of course you have Right Whales in the White Sea, that would be a perfect source of oil for palace lamps!
