I have only one that’s grown tall it’s 8+ feet I’ve taken a pic it’s not very clear because the flower is in the shade the other one it’s little brother, I found an old packet in my shed and just bunged them in never thinking they would grow.. I love all your happy pics.

That’s a beauty phoenix.

We had a couple sprout up in our garden and they grew to about 3.5 - 4 feet tall.
We didn’t plant them, sunflower seeds from the nearby bird feeder must have landed in the border and germinated.
They were a lovely surprise. ??

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.

Wow phoenix!

That’s great!

DH and I were just saying, while admiring ours, ‘isn’t it funny how they start off so small and you worry. Now they’re so sturdy and strong’.
It is comical to look at the 3ft sticks we once put in the ground to support them.
