Helianthus Annuus 'Claret' F1

Compared to a small sunflower. The head almost hit the ground with all its weight.

Harvest time. Ready to be put up to dry. My biggest flower head to date. It’s ten inches across and the seeds are really swollen. I’m super excited to plant these next year. #sunflower-head #giantsunflower #harvest

W🌻W amazing

Thank you @crabby58 I’ll happily share seeds once they’re fully dry. The sunflower reached a little over nine feet and three feet wide leaf to leaf. A record for sure.

That truly is #bestofaugust 🌻 did you do anything special to it? 🥰

Nope just cleaned the top to get it ready to dry. @crabby58 https://youtube.com/shorts/RTAGwEOF3wg?feature=share

Moms giant sunflowers in her backyard in Chicago. She’s on year three with these guys. The animals help spread the seed when they feast. #giantsunflower #sunflower #fromseed #startedfromseed

Amazing, it's so huge. What a beauty 🌻

Wow, they’re humongous 👍🏼
