Sunflower, Maximilian Helianthus maximiliana   Blooming 2-3" flowers atop strong, multiple branches reaching up to 10 feet in height, Maximilian Sunflower is a must-have for the permaculture garden. This flower blooms from late summer into fall and creates edible seeds that are under consideration for perennial oil production.  Like Jerusalem artichoke, Maximilian sunflower makes edible tubers, and will also reproduce vegetatively from these rhizomes in addition to seed. Flowers can be cut and used for fresh flower arrangements. The flower display is spectacular-- as other plants begin to fade, Maximilian comes on strong! Packet: (0.2g ~20 seeds)...

Sunflower, Red Sun (70-90 days) Helianthus annus - A wonderful polyheaded variety for cut flowers and bold color displays in the garden. Grows to 5-7’ tall and produces 8-20 5-6” flowers per plant with dusky orange, burgundy to deep scarlet red petals, black centers and dark chocolate seeds.
