Helianthus maximiliani
The perennial Maximilian Sunflower. These guys are tall. This photo was taken at eye level and there were plenty of stems and flowers towering over me. I've seen these growing wild on the side of the road, and when I figured out what they were, I had to get some. This stand is probably 4-years from seed. They have only just started to open and will probably peak in another week or two when each stem might hold 6-10 flowers at once. JD |

I can tell you that for "perennial sunflowers", the combination of
these Helianthus maximiliani and Heliopsis is great. The Heliopsis are shorter at about 4ft and bloom viciously for me from late June to mid-August with a few flowers even beyond that. They are not really "sunflowers" but I think they are sometimes called oxeye. As stated, these Helianthus run about 6-8ft, start in early Sept and go until frost. Both perennials are very easy to grow from seed and I attach a photo of the shorter Heliopsis from July 3 of this year. JD Want some! Mary |
