Cog Noscensme AHA Aug 2020 5:50pm, 9 Aug 2020 653 posts	0 Cog Noscensme AHA I didn't know there was a sunflower thread. Wondering if I'll get any seeds out of these
Fizz :-) Aug 2020 8:06pm, 9 Aug 2020 4,127 posts	0 Fizz :-) Tallest - about 7 feet Highest! (about 5 feet tall) Shortest (but very pretty, less than a foot) And my guerrilla sunflowers (not quite at their peak)
Dvorak Aug 2020 8:23pm, 9 Aug 2020 20,440 posts	0 Dvorak Good work Liking the feral and semi-feral ones. And your tiddler Fizz - so cute I've been staging a kind of unintentional experiment in how high a sunflower will grow from a tiny growing area. The answer appears to be pretty tall, but tiny-headed. If i get organised, there may be a picture.
Garfield Aug 2020 8:27pm, 9 Aug 2020 13,635 posts	0 Garfield Mine didn't get very tall and only tiny flowers that have just about finished. Next year I'll get some fresh seeds and feed them...and maybe even plant them in the ground (as I tend to grow them in pots).
Velociraptor Aug 2020 8:55pm, 9 Aug 2020 47,929 posts	0 Velociraptor Someone in our town has pots of dwarf sunflowers with big heads. I'm tempted to knock on the door and ask what variety they are. My dwarf sunflowers last year were mostly greenery with unexciting flowers.
