Here are my giant sunflowers I grew this year. I am only 5'2" so you can see how tall they are. Some of them are 14 feet high. They are beautiful. I have them planted in a square shape around my pumpkin patch.
Have a great rest of the summer, fall will be here before you know it (my favorite time of year.)
Those are still my favorite kind of sunflower! you must be making up some very good dirt. I read a long time ago that good dirt is 1/3 sand, 1/3 clay, and 1/3 vegetation such as compost. That has worked for me ever since. Enjoy your flowers, especially with any kids around!
