Maximilian Sunflower Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds produce a striking native perennial known for its towering height, late-season blooms, and exceptional ecological value. When most garden flowers have faded, this sunflower bursts into abundant golden-yellow blooms from late summer through fall, providing a vital nectar source for migrating monarchs and native pollinators.

Reaching heights of up to 10 feet, Maximilian Sunflower forms impressive vertical columns that add structure, movement, and natural screening to landscapes. The lightly fragrant blooms are known for a subtle chocolate-like scent that further attracts beneficial insects during the critical late growing season.

This hardy North American wildflower thrives in zones 4–9 and adapts easily to sandy, loam, or clay soils. Once established, it requires minimal watering and care, making it an excellent choice for drought-prone areas, prairie restorations, and low-maintenance pollinator gardens. Deep taproots help improve soil structure by breaking up compacted ground, while the plant’s edible tubers offer additional value for permaculture systems and livestock forage.

Late-Season Color with Lasting Impact:

• Bright yellow blooms from late summer through fall
• Tall plants reaching up to 10 feet high
• Subtle chocolate-scented flowers attract pollinators
• Provides nectar when few other plants are in bloom

How to Use / How to Grow:
Maximilian Sunflower seeds benefit from cold stratification for reliable germination. Sow seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them into the soil, as light aids germination. Plant in full sun for best growth and flowering. Keep soil evenly moist during establishment, then reduce watering as plants mature. Over time, this perennial sunflower will spread naturally, forming long-lived stands that return year after year with minimal maintenance.
