I have six sunflowers growing to about 7 feet and no sign of a flower yet. With surrounding buildings they only get the midday sun about 3.5 hours in late august and I suspect this is a problem. Maybe also the wrong variety for the scottish climate - they where just cooking seeds out of tesco.
Is there anyway to help them flower or is it a lost cause?

Sheer guess, wrap them in clear plastic, like a polythene sleeve. Nice little microclimate.
A lot of bother to go to, but depends how much of a challenge you want!
