What's Blooming Now - Maximilian Sunflowers 08/25/2011









Maximilian Sunflowers are multi-branching perennial plants. They grow to about 6 feet tall. I grew these from seeds. I guess they like this spot because I've tried to grow seeds for the last two years and this is the first time I've had success. They are good plants for the wildlife because they have seeds just like all sunflowers. If the deer eat the flowers off the plants they will still come back next year (unlike the annual sunflowers which will promptly die). I planted these at the back of the grass garden.
