Hey baza, these were grown from seeds I harvested a year or 2 ago from ' Russian Giant ' sunflowers. The heads end up roughly a foot wide so you get soooooo many seeds.
baza I still have seeds left from the first lot I grew. I can send you some ready for next year if you would like ?
mine that didnt die (in other thread) are doing ok and now at the top of the cane, but i dont really have anything else to tie them to so unsure if i should move etc?

Hello Everyone
Here are this years2016 Sunflowers.
Some are nearly 6ft tall and i've positioned them so i'll see the heads this year
I've posted the same photo's on our work in progress thread so you might of seen the photo's already.
What do you's think? How are yours coming on?
Thanks
Baz n Hels

should be dark red sunflowers
hazel you are a star, simple stuff
the ones given to me are a bit useless though, weak and half bent so ill go out and get some decent ones i think
i wouldnt expect mine to get that tall but the neice and nephew i gave seedlings to have done much better than mine.. grrr!!!
16ft that is class and theres me thinking my 8ft'r last year was a whooper
.
I've started to tie mine to the fence which has gave them the support they need and hopefully might get a 16ftr
