Got one still going, unofficially 15' from last seasons Burpee Russian Mammoth variety. All the rest were 10-12' WR is 26'+...yikes! If she comes back from the local Fair intact, I would be more than willing to share some seeds...haven't been close to the head for some time now so I can't comment on seed count or condition...LOL!

I have yet to measure my tall sunflower. They don't have a catagory for the tallest at the Elk Grove Giant Pumpkin Weigh off. I think My plant is at least 16 foot. I'll be happy to share seeds. Just email me. voncrimmins@yahoo.com

so to get a 21 footer did you grow it against a house? and tie it down to put energy into growing it tall?
