Meredith, these Y'vonne's are about 2 1/2-3' tall too. They're in a really dry bed and I think that kept them smaller. I'd like to try some in a large container where I can baby it and see if I can see one reach 6'.

'Lemon Aura' Sunflower, from seed I harvested from my plants last year. Last years plants were pathetic, and I almost didn't even harvest any seed from them. I'm so glad I did now- these have been gorgeous. The only difference I'm seeing from last years plants is some (about half) of the blooms have some brown in the center. The centers are still full of petals and I rather like them, although 'Lemon Aura' typically should be solid yellow.
