These are pictures from my 2020 giant garden.

15+ multi-headed sunflower and giant amaranth

29 1/2 inch circumference on giant amaranth

Originally about 24 feet tall, but several feet of top broke off. In the picture it was just an inch or two shy of 22 feet. This giant amaranth had a stem circumference of 29 1/2" and it weighed 87 pounds.

12’0" 148 flower wild sunflower

17’9" Amaranthus cruentus

13 ft pearl millet

19 feet tall sorgum

19 feet, 15’11" and 15’3" sorghum plants

you clearly have a passion for these giants. Do you save the seed for the following year?

Wow!! Fantastic pics! Thanks for sharing with us! As Eileen mentioned, do you save the seeds?

Yes, the amaranth I have been growing and saving seed since 2006. These multi-headed sunflowers I have been breeding 8 years.
