I tried them from seed for the first time this year too. Mine are not as tall as yours but they have been grown in pots. Here is the first one to flower.
So bright and cheerful.
Well, thank you to all who posted when I started them off, my first attempt at growing from seed! 
The best ones are now over 7ft tall 
haven't managed to get up the step ladder for accurate measurements, and seem to be setting multiple flowers!
The village competition closes on August 15th, don't think I will win, but have given it a good go!
Very chuffed!
