Maximilian, or Max, Sunflower, is a perennial plant with stems that can grow up to 10 feet tall with many long and narrow leaves. This plant is eaten by livestock and deer, while its showy, yellow flower heads attract bees and butterflies for their nectar, and birds for their seeds. Maximilian Sunflower is native to prairies, growing best in full sun and dry to moist, clay-like soil.
