FS-PS, Zone 3, Blooms Aug-Sept., 7’ x 3-4’, Medium Wet to Med Dry, Deer resistant

New addition to the store! We have had requests for this native over the years and we are pleased to have them this season. A stout, upright perennial native through the south and extending north throughout the central plains states. Numerous bright yellow 3 inch flowers are found on the upper half of unbranched stems. The leaves are 4 to 8 inches in length, tapering at both ends. Soil fertility and the amount of moisture will determine the height of the plant. Does not seem to be temperamental about soil conditions but does best in full sun. Provides excellent forage for birds and other wildlife. A true perennial once established. Spreads by rhizomes

Like most other Sunflower species, Maximilian's Sunflower attracts a number of long-tongued bees, short-tongued bees, butterflies, and moths.
