    I bought Dwarf Sunflowers Solar Flash and planted them along the edge of my deck, as described in the listing I hoped they would make an "attractive hedge" and be pretty and visible alongside the edge of my pots when I'm in the house.

    They're now 6ft. They're bigger than me. Today I learnt I'm a dwarf.
