DESCRIPTION
GIANT SUNFLOWERS: Each plant can get up to hundreds of sunflowers and 12 feet tall
EASY TO GROW: Hardy perennial comes back year after year
POLLINATOR FRIENDLY: Great for Bees and Butterflies. Good for nature and pretty to see
Environment and Culture
Maximilian Sunflower is home to the prairies and grassland ecologies of the Midwest. It makes a great habitat plant: the flowers and seeds are loved by wildlife and livestock alike. Butterflies, beetles, and bees consume the nectar or pollen. Butterfly caterpillars feed on the foliage while moth caterpillars bore through the stems. Upland game birds, small non-game birds, and some waterfowl consume its seeds. Rabbits and groundhogs feed on young plants while elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, and pronghorn antelope browse and graze older plants.
The plants are not fussy and will grow in a variety of soil and light conditions, but prefer full sun and well drained soils. Once established they do not need to be watered, and can spread. As a backyard gardener, consider growing Maximillian Sunflower with Western Snowberry, California Compassplant, Wild Blue Flax, Oregon White Oak, California Black Oak, Indian Ricegrass
This plant has rich cultural history and Northwest Native American tribes today still value this special plant as food, medicine, and family. Despite great cultural losses, they continue to work towards stewarding and restoring wild populations, both strengthening the integrity of the ecology and sustaining their cultural heritage and wisdom. These strong and recovering peoples and plants deserve our respect, gratitude, and reparations. (Learn more & how to help on our Charitable Giving page.)
**NOTE: Maximilian sunflower plants are allelopathic. They produce chemicals that hinder the growth of neighboring plants. These chemicals are not harmful to livestock and wildlife.
Harvest, Care, and Preparation
Allow plants to establish and spread before harvest. Harvest from the outer edges of the patch for the freshest tubers and rhizomes, as well as to keep the patch contained to the area you want it. The rhizomes and tubers are best harvested in winter or early spring so as to minimize disturbance to patch. Begin digging at a distance from the stalk to prevent accidentally damaging tubers. Once harvested, clean well and cook like a Jerusalem Artichoke. We recommend slicing and baking or sauteeing with coconut oil and salt until golde crispy brown.
Seeds mature head by head beginning several weeks after flowering. Harvest when they are hard, dry, and brown. Shake the seed heads out in an empty bucket or bowl and sift or blow off the chaff. Lightly toast the seeds until their oils and nutty aroma begin to emerge. Oil and salt can be added to taste. Use as a seasoning for other foods, or as a crunchy snack. Try making a native food "gomasio" by blending the seeds with salt.
