They're lovely & the birds will enjoy the seeds during the winter.

I prefer the traditional look myself... but well done all the same... mine have been in flower for three months..


and the cutting ones are still producing well...

The fence was there first but is useful to tie to for the first 6'.... then support becomes problematic... the post in the middle was my all time record of 14'8" a couple of summers ago... disaterously my OH grew some cutting sunflower on the same plot and they interbred.... we now have seven foot sunflowers with huge heads and loads of side shoots... they have flowered for three months solid!
