"Although I did purchase sunflower mammoth seeds that are labeled Burpee, This is the first time I ever planted sunflowers. The thrill of it was fantastic and very gratifying. The plant got approx. 11foot tall. But, because we have had a lot of 90 degree/humid days here, the sunflower head has been drooping and the surrounding yellow leaves are dying off. I thought maybe it was the temps but, maybe it could just be a disease or some kind of wilt."

"Easy, to grow. I planted twelve sunflowers for the first time ever and did not realize that these are Mammoths and should be planted two feet apart in order to ensure good growth, so I had to relocated about five of these sunflowers plants (when they were about 3ft tall) to another area in my garden (the replanted ones are not pictured though), and I am happy to say they all survived and are also growing very big. As for my main sunflower garden one the plants (third from the left) is sprouting about 10 blubs, all over all I still can't believe I got all this from seeds!"

"i planted mid may and the largest of the bunch is 5'tall july 20. almost every seed germinated,they transplanted well,and are growing like crazy, even in the sand and southern red clay. I planted them all around my vegetables and flowers,being careful not to block their sunlight,and they have made the most lush backdrop for my landscape that already adds so much depth to my displays,and they haven't even bloomed yet. I am very anxious to see how many mature to bloom."
