      8ft 6" ish

My sunflower from saved seeds it’s 5ft 3in tall.

Mines taller than my green house roof- do I need to get a tape measure out

   

my sunflowers got battered to death in the wind and rain these last few days, so I’ve posted a picture of one I gave to my neighbour for her grandson, it’s not that tall but at least it still has blooms unlike mine.
Kinda cheating but it will never win, it’s only about 5 foot tall.

   

My poor specimen 

   

8'11" now (measured last week at 8'5 but a bit of rain helped). It self seeded in with my early potatoes and was in danger of being weeded out but the little weed standing behind it vetoed that.

   

This is my tallest. 7ft 8”

   

Edit: Unfortunately, the storm winds broke our lovely sunflower at the base before we could measure. Estimated about 8.5 ft for any interested parties, not for competition

   

Well done to the entrants
