My Neighbor didn't grow Heritage Sunflowers but Prehistoric ones
As far as I can tell they are over 9 feet tall... What the hell did they bury in their front yard?!

Biblically accurate sunflower.

Looks like mammoth Russian sunflowers to me. We grow these every year along my driveway and the neighbors love them because they attract gold finches and red-headed house finches :-)

Those are pretty common in Amsterdam. Both in public spaces and even street gardens

lol sunflowers are common here too, just usually you don't enjoy them from a 2nd floor window.

@Krauerking@lemy.lol yeah I meant that size of the sunflower, not the plant itself

Those look like good old "mammoth" sunflowers. I tried to grow 16 sunflowers this season from different varieties, and only 6 of those survived. They all became monsters.
Yeah wow. Those seem easy to have as a statement piece. I might try to ask them for some seeds since that article undersells them as a statement piece
You sure? That link mentions single large heads.
I'm growing half a dozen mammoth sunflowers that all have multi heads right now. They look exactly like OPs picture.
They may be a variant, but that's what they were called on the seed packet I used.
