sunflowers
The enormous one is 'Russian Mammoth,' which is - mammoth. I ordered it from these people in the spring, along with bachelor's buttons, tithonia and nasurtiums, all of which thrive.
RM was the only quote-unquote traditional sunflower they stocked. It does tend to lean, which I can live with, but it also has trouble carrying the weight of its own flowers. Next year 'Pacino,' I think.
