Well done... only one of mine has got above 8' so far... been far too dry for them...  :-X

Thanks, It's been extremely dry here in Jersey, the last time we had heavy rain was back in April so I've been busy twice daily in fact on the watering can!

Impressive!
At the other extreme this one is about a foot high with a flower just two inches across!   :)

Giantseeds thanks! I'm sorry but I don't know the variety as it's one of some assorted sunflower seeds that I was given.  :)

I roughly  measured mine yesterday and it was over 9 feet tall, I'll have to do an exact measure when the flower opens fully.  :o      ;D ;D ;D

I took my tape mearure today and it stands at 9'  foot 5 inches and it was the first time I have grown them on the lottie, I have two more that are not far behind.   :o :o :o

Mine got so tall it fell down, and have left it for the birds.  Will measure the stem tomorrow.

Kev I've also got two around the same height as yours!  :)

Parakeets are chomping their way through all the sunflower heads on our site!
