Did you know…

                   …the tallest sunflower ever recorded reached an unbelievable height of 9.169 metres (30.08 feet)?

On August 28, 2014 Guinness World Records verified a sunflower grown by Hans-Peter Schiffer of Karst, Nordrhein Westfalen, Germany was a record-breaking 9.17 metres (30.08 feet) tall! Incredibly, Hans-Peter broke his own tallest sunflower record as he had won this honour twice before.
