Good grief! Looks like that thing has had some N behind it!

Should be interesting to see how it looks next year. Sunflowers don't come true to seed (obviously) so if you plant seeds from it, you could get darn near anything, depending on what the pollen donor plant looked like.

Good luck.

That beast is amazing! I wish I could grow one that big.

Just curios, does anyone have a recipe for harvesting & roasting home grown sunflower seeds? I love a good mouth full of spits.
