I planted some 'Red Sun' sunflower seeds in spring as I thought that the colour as shown on the packet was quite attractive. They are also said to be 1.5 metres tall. The problem is that of the 15 plants that I have, only one has turned out to be red (ish), all the others are yellow and most of the plants are well over 1.8 metres tall with five of them in excess of 2.4 metres, (8ft), and still growing!!! They are quite magnificent plants but just not what they are supposed to be.
The seeds were packaged by a very well known seed company but were given away free with Gardeners World magazine in April so I haven't got any grounds for a complaint. Has anyone else had and grown the same seeds from Gardeners World?
