Maximilian Sunflower

Helianthus maximiliani is a robust, rhizomatous perennial native to North American prairies, reaching heights of up to ten feet. It features distinctive, narrow, grayish-green leaves that are often folded lengthwise and arching. In late summer and fall, it produces a profusion of bright yellow flower heads along the upper stems, attracting pollinators and birds. This drought-tolerant species thrives in full sun and adapts to various soil types. It is ideal for naturalized meadows and wildlife.
