‘It’s enormous – I really can’t believe it’s grown this tall,’ said the 48-year-old. ‘I planted a few seeds with my granddaughter so we could have a race to grow the biggest one.‘This was one of the leftover ones, so I thought I might as well sow it and see what happened.
The Guinness world record for the tallest sunflower belongs to Hans-Peter Schiffer, from Kaarst-Voorst in Germany. His plant was measured on August 17, 2009.
But Ms Fielding, from Margate in Kent, could yet steal the crown. She said: ‘This is by far the biggest sunflower I’ve ever had.
‘My neighbours and visitors have all been quite surprised and shocked at the size – they think it’s a beast.
‘I’ve heard of people talking to their plants to make them grow and I’ve never done that but I have started telling it how well it is doing since it got really big.’
