Thought I’d share the results of growing a mammoth sunflower in a container! I vastly underestimated the size of these guys, I honestly didn’t think it would make it to bloom but it just did today! The head is only about 6-7 inches in diameter (not including the petals) and it’s total height from the ground is about 9.5 feet. Figured I’d share this if anyone was curious about how these do in pots. I fertilized semi regularly with a balanced organic fertilizer and homemade compost.

Holy moly!!! 😆🌻
Do you have the pot secured ? I would think a strong wind would blow it over .
Wonderful! How long ago did you plant her? From seed?
-looks at my month old mammoth- oh no I may have greatly miscalculated the amount of space needed for you 😅
