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?

To be on the safe side, ventilate the sleeve during the day - don't want cooked sunflowers.
