Helianthus maximiliani is known as Maximilian's sunflower. It is a towering perennial native to the Great Plains that can reach 9 feet high with spires covered in bright yellow daisies with brown centres. The lance-shaped leaves can be up to one foot long. The rhizomes are similar to the Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) and were eaten by Native American groups including the Sioux. Bees and butterflies love the nectar of the flowers and birds are attracted to the copious seeds.
