About Maximilian Sunflower

A member of the sunflower family, this perennial flower has large showy yellow blooms that attract migrating Monarchs and other butterflies. It can be found from the Great Plains to the eastern prairies of the U.S. Because of its height, this warm season flower is often used as a privacy fence. It is also very useful in permanent food plots for upland birds and for erosion control.
