Helianthus maximiliani 'Maximillian Sunflower'

The sunflower is a loved plant for its shiny
yellow blooms that travel with the suns rays.
The Maximillian sunflower is a tall perennial
with blue-green lanced shaped leaves that
define the sunflower genus. The bushy plants
give way to many 3" pure yellow blooms in
late summer (earlier in southern climates) and
stay in bloom until heavy frosts take over. If
the seed heads are left standing they will act
as a natural bird feeder that will keep native
birds happy through the winter. A US Native.
