As far as I can tell they are over 9 feet tall… What the hell did they bury in their front yard?!

    Those look like good old “mammoth” sunflowers. I tried to grow 16 sunflowers this season from different varieties, and only 6 of those survived. They all became monsters.

      Yeah wow. Those seem easy to have as a statement piece. I might try to ask them for some seeds since that article undersells them as a statement piece

      You sure? That link mentions single large heads.

        I’m growing half a dozen mammoth sunflowers that all have multi heads right now. They look exactly like OPs picture.

        They may be a variant, but that’s what they were called on the seed packet I used.
