5-6' tall x 3-5' wide (cutting propagated). Gardeners in cold, short growing season areas can now enjoy the spectacular beauty of Maximilian's Sunflower. High Country Gardens, working with Scott and Lauren Springer Ogden is introducing this newly selected, early blooming cultivar of Maximilian's Sunflower, 'Dakota Sunshine' While most Maximilian Sunflowers begin blooming in mid-September through early October, 'Dakota Sunshine' comes into flower in mid-August and avoids the hard, early frost common to short season climates. Adaptable to growing in any soil (including clay), this perennial sunflower is a big, easy-to-grow native prairie plant that is perfect for planting in hedges and in front of blank fences and walls where its ornamental foliage will add interest and texture to the landscape. Cut back old stems to 2-3" above ground-level in mid-spring.

"Third year for these, and they can't hang here in dry windy Wyoming(which is odd because they're listed as native and common in my county, must only occur in riparian areas, because I've never once seen these in the wild). They do bloom at a very appropriate time in about mid August, so that's nice, and they are a beautiful perennial sunflower, but…. I had to water these constantly this year and they were always struggling, the plant in the photos is about 2 feet, and the other only got about six inches tall this year. Wouldn't recommend to anyone receiving less than about 20"" precipitation annually, unless you want to provide consistent supplemental water(might do good in a rain garden with some shade too, but not dry full sun)."
"Still to early to see final results, but I will say that it arrived in a healthy condition, attractive and currently growing very well in the garden."
"Planted this in lean high desert soil. It was about six inches high when planted in the spring and it is about two feel tall at the end of August and covered in blooms. I have ordered another one to be planted in the Fall."
