I hear they are good for the garden (in that they bring in favorable insects) so I want to plant some, but am looking for some massive variety seeds.
Let me know if you have for te price of a bubble envelope.

I grew a couple over 10 feet with a cheap store bought package ($1.69 at Wal-Mart, I think, for about 30-40 seeds). They had 10-12" heads. How massive are you looking for? I know that the really tall ones can be over 20'. But, if you're growing them to attract insects, do you really want them up that high? What if they never make their way down to where you want them?

Yes, I was looking for the really tall ones (12+). Of course I want to attract the favorable insects, but I also would like them to look impressively tall--they are lovely to look at!

I have hundreds of freshly harvested seeds. 12+ feet tall and HUGE heads. Some of the seeds that I have will produce as many as 40 small individual heads and one normal size "main" head. Very pretty.
Have as many as you want, I would like to share them.

The 20+ feet tall ones are known as Sunzilla I think. Anyone have any of these?

I can offer seeds from from one I grew a year ago. It was 14 ft tall and had a 23 1/2 inch head and was 1st place head at Barnesville, OH.
Since they would be 2 yr old seeds when you plant, I'd send oodles.
email me (click my name at left) if interested.
