Lemon Yellow Maximilian Sunflower
Helianthus maximiliani 'Lemon Yellow'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: Tall, autumn-blooming herbaceous perennial. Primrose yellow flowers bloom to cover tall stalks of lance-shaped mid-green leaves. It is not particular about soil types and grows easily in hot, full sun locations. Though not showy until the fall, it is still a pleasant look for any garden during the summer. Makes a great backdrop plant.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
