The Maximilian Sunflower is a tall drought tolerant perennial that provides end of season color, blooming from September into October with numerous large golden daisy-like flowers. It grows tall, up to 7 feet high and is a great choice for the back of perennial beds. The foliage provides an interesting texture, having long, narrow leaves prior to the blooms. It is a tough perennial that is good for difficult growing conditions. The Maximilian sunflower is hardy in much of our Rocky Mountain valleys. It can be started from either seeds or plants.
