Hi Lynn, mine are pretty pathetic this year - only about 3foot. It's probably cos we've not had much sun :-( |

Having never grown one before I don't know how tall they are ecpected to grow. I got my seed from a sunflower head a youngster bought into the school where I work. It was a Sunflower that the local press had taken a photo of. My young granddaughters think that fairies slide down the leaves when it rains as there are pictures in one of their books with them doing just that Lynn |

I planted loads of sunflowers this year and only one has grown. The dog thought it was great when they had grown to about a foot tall then he would bite them up. The one Ive managed to save is about 6ft but hasnt started to flower is still growing....so watch this space. Maggie |
