Sunflower Tree, also known as the Tree Marigold, is a perfect choice if you want a fast-growing shrub to hide something you don't like in just a few months. But that's not all! This tree also has beautiful sunflower-like flowers that look really happy.

The Sunflower Tree grows really quickly and has cute flowers that are about 2-3 inches wide. When it's fully grown, it's about 10 feet tall and 10 feet wide, like a big, cozy blanket.

Even when it gets a bit chilly in winter and there's a light freeze, the Sunflower Tree doesn't mind too much. It bounces back every spring, even stronger than before, like a champion.

If you live in Central Florida where it sometimes gets a little frosty, the Sunflower Tree is a super good choice. It's like a tough, colorful wall that grows fast and makes your yard look awesome.

Botanical name: Helianthus maximiliani

Common name: Maximilian Sunflower

Family: Asteraceae

Origin: North America

USDA Zone: 3-9?

USDA Plant Hardiness MapSmall plant 2-5 ftFull sunWatering: Moderate. Water when top soil feels dryYellow, orange flowersPlant attracts butterflies, hummingbirds

A branching perennial herb, growing from a stout rhizome and reaches heights. The slender, tall, erect stems and alternately-arranged leaves are covered in rough hairs. Large, showy, yellow blooms occur throughout the full 5-7 feet height of the plant in great abundance during late summer and fall. During this period, the plant adds a brilliant splash of color and texture to range sites, natural areas, and landscapes.

The thick rhizome is edible and provided a food similar to the Jerusalem artichoke.

It may be used as a natural hedge or tall screen to block out harsh areas. It also makes a colorful, attractive landscape plant.

It has the potential of being an excellent filter strip plant due to its seemingly great ability to uptake and use excess water and nutrients.
