As far as I can tell they are over 9 feet tall… What the hell did they bury in their front yard?!
Looks like mammoth Russian sunflowers to me. We grow these every year along my driveway and the neighbors love them because they attract gold finches and red-headed house finches :-)
Biblically accurate sunflower.
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.
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.
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
Those are pretty common in Amsterdam. Both in public spaces and even street gardens
lol sunflowers are common here too, just usually you don’t enjoy them from a 2nd floor window.
@[email protected] yeah I meant that size of the sunflower, not the plant itself
