Biggest sunflower I've ever grown

This years sunflowers were the biggest I've ever grown. The variety was called Gigantus from West Coast Seeds.

That's a heck of a big sunflower! I also enjoyed the rest of your pictures in photo bucket very much!

Thanks
My inspiration for growing giant sunflowers came from Cynthia. She posted pictures of beautiful massive sunflowers she grew, and I had to give it a try

I didn't save any seeds but am ordering a bunch and I will definitely send you some Mirycreek

oh too bad you didnt save butthen maybe they are a hybrid? never thought of that...

Nice!!
What did you do with the seeds?
Thanks.

I will for sure Mirycreek.

I roasted the seeds. It was the first time for me, it was a lot easier than I thought!

Wow that's impressive !

Thank you

Beautiful, Izzy. I am going to set seed for that variety this year too. I spent an incredible amount of time drying smaller variety sunflower heads and it was just oh so much work (saved them for winter food for my chooks, for treats). But boy, I have the room and I would love to feed the wild birds out back and the tame birds here too, smiling....for sure I will order some. And I would love too, to roast some for personal eating. Have a wonderful day, CynthiaM.

I can't wait until gardening season now
