In order to get as much sun as possible on their flowers heads, they've developed a remarkable ability to turn their faces toward the sun as it rolls across the sky each day. And overnight, they orient themselves eastward to great the sun first thing the next morning. Scientists believe this trick has to do with the plants' biological clocks working in tandem with certain growth hormones. Or just call it garden magic—sunflowers are bursting with it.

It saves its spectacular show for the very end of the season, offering masses of three-inch, golden blooms along tall, unbranched stems from August until the frost. Because it thrives in full sun and tolerates a range of soils, it is an excellent choice for naturalizing a fence line or anchoring the back of a border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond its beauty, this sunflower is a vital hub for biodiversity. Its late bloom time makes it a crucial fueling station for migrating Monarch butterflies, bees, and beneficial insects like lady beetles and lacewings. Once the flowers fade, the seeds become essential forage for birds. For the best garden performance, we recommend giving the plants a \"haircut\" in late May, pruning them back to about 18 inches; this encourages a bushier, sturdier habit that will support the weight of its autumn gold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hudson Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"100 Seeds","offer_id":46228888420510,"sku":"gp_maximillian_sunflower","price":5.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300 Seeds","offer_id":46228888453278,"sku":"hp_maximillian_sunflower","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/0909\/1117\/files\/MaximillianSunflower.png?v=1764175764"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/0909\/1117\/collections\/Flowers_02_-_collection_banner_dc3bcf00-3ea2-48e3-aee8-a21bca7b8d85.jpg?v=1736272906","url":"https:\/\/hudsonvalleyseed.mom\/collections\/sunflowers.oembed","provider":"Hudson Valley Seed Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
