I now have 3 in flower at about 4 foot tall each

Most of mine are in flower (yay me!)

The tallest one is taller than me ... which equates to "tall" in my book (despite my children habitually taking the mick out of my height; aka doesn't make me short, merely makes them taller ) I'm a very proud 5'2 and a half

I do have one with a "deformed" flower head; despite it's abnormality, it is still doing its very best to "flower".

Can't wait to harvest the seeds ready for next year - these were a freebie from GW mag!

I have my first coming into flower.

Its been in a south facing position in our veg plot. Its the amazing, dizzying height of.......13 inches.


Seriously, about a dozen there all around the foot mark.

The ones in the shade are taller, but the best are two in a flower border, about my height...five and a half feet...no flowers yet

My "giant" ones have finally caught up with the others, at about the 7' mark. So they're about half grown. :rotfl:

All four of mine have topped out at around 5 feet, but they are all in flower. One has 4 flower heads - is that normal?

Mine are still tiny and one has died. I have had to move them due to getting a greenhouse. It needed to go where they are growing. They seem to be sulking now and dont want to grow.

The one my 8yr old planted at school is up to 6 foot tall, and whilst has a flower head, it's tiny and the beast keeps growing!
