Dear Barb and Linda,
We also have Helianthus maximilianus (commonly called Maxamilian's Sunflower
here) growing in the "Garden"! It is a western and central plains native that
blooms in mid September for us. Ours (and most wild clumps that I see in the
fields and meadows) is in a mostly sunny to total sun location and has the
blooming habit of a hollyhock, but with bright gold 2 - 3" sunflower blossoms
running up the stalk. Ours grows to 5 or 6' high, but I have seen them in town
(Albuquerque) that grow to 10'! These are considered a valuable landscape
plant here as they are pretty and tough. Move it to a better location and let
them shine for you!
Blessings of the Maying Season!
