            | Carolyn Phillips | Nauvoo,  Alabama | How long does the giant sunflower  bloom  take to mature after it starts blooming.
 Mine started blooming out this week and I have never grown one before.  The stalk is really thick  and sturdy and the bloom is about 9.5 to 10 ft  high.  It might be short but its a HULKy plant.

            | Engel's Great Pumpkins and Carvings | Menomonie, WI ([email protected]) | Get an old panty hose or something to protect the seeds if you want to save them.. Normally takes a couple weeks for the Giant Head. | 7/19/2012 1:10:04 PM | 
		
            | Carolyn Phillips | Nauvoo,  Alabama | So===it doesn't need bee action to form seeds?  I don't know anything about sunflowers.  What makes it form seeds? | 7/20/2012 12:50:48 PM |
