Mine must be a miniature sunflower as it's only 2 foot tall! Bought the seedling at a charity shop.
It flowered this weekend but don't know how to put my digital photo on. |

Just got back from a week away, my daughters sunflower is now wilting  but Stewy flower still going strong and no head yet. Not measured it for awhile but it looks like it's over 5ft. |

Well, it's been measured and we have a final height of 11ft 5" from the ground to the tip of the top petal.
Do you think that's how we should measure or maybe another way? Middle of the flower head perhaps?  |

I didn't use a ladder Kayleigh, I put 2 garden canes together and then placed them at the base of the stalk and then adjusted them to get the correct (ish) height and then measured the canes on the floor if that makes any sense?? |
