5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) sunflower mammoth, August 10, 2008 Submitted by tuxedocat from Clinton, MD "Although I did purchase sunflower mammoth seeds that are labeled Burpee, This is the first time I ever planted sunflowers. The thrill of it was fantastic and very gratifying. The plant got approx. 11foot tall. But, because we have had a lot of 90 degree/humid days here, the sunflower head has been drooping and the surrounding yellow leaves are dying off. I thought maybe it was the temps but, maybe it could just be a disease or some kind of wilt."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Favorite flower!, June 9, 2008 Submitted by SoupAddict from Cincinnati, OH "Sunflowers are my favorite flowers, and the Teddy Bear is tops of the tops. My sunflowers are already taking off, providing gorgeous blooms, and am looking forward to a beautiful summer of enjoying these babies. The seeds were easy to start and the plants have been healthy and strong. This is my first year growing them, but their performance thus far has already guaranteed them a spot in the garden next year!"

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Highly recomend, February 10, 2008 Submitted by pkrjgoss from Vermont "These were super easy to grow and they were huge and beautiful. We planted them as a border to our corn. This year I'm going to incorporate them into other areas of my flower beds. If you're not into the traditional yellow sunflower, this is a beauty of a change."

Soooooooooooo many compliments on them."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) great grower, July 20, 2007 Submitted by wilbar "I planted mid may and the largest of the bunch is 5'tall july 20. Almost every seed germinated,they transplanted well,and are growing like crazy, even in the sand and southern red clay. I planted them all around my vegetables and flowers,being careful not to block their sunlight,and they have made the most lush backdrop for my landscape that already adds so much depth to my displays,and they haven't even bloomed yet. I am very anxious to see how many mature to bloom."

5 out of 5 (Overall Rating) Love this flower!, July 9, 2007 Submitted by sunshinebaby "I sowed these seeds directly into my garden with some wildflower seeds and sunflowers. They are beautiful! I saw growth from the seeds within a week. They bloomed after about 6 weeks. Beautiful addition to a garden and so easy to care for :)"
