Undaunted Lemon Max Maximilian's Sunflower

This plant grows into a substantial mound, reaching 4 to 5 feet in both height and width. You should space them at least 5 feet apart to ensure they have enough room to reach their full, mature size.

Yes, once established, it is highly drought-tolerant and thrives in xeric conditions. However, you should provide regular water during the first growing season to help the root system become properly settled.

The Undaunted Lemon Max is considered deer-resistant, making it a reliable choice for gardens where wildlife browsing is a concern. While it is generally avoided by deer, no plant is completely immune if food sources are scarce.

It is quite adaptable and performs well in a variety of soil types, including sandy, average garden loam, and even heavy clay. It does not require specialized soil amendments to grow successfully.

This variety is a late-season bloomer, typically producing its large, yellow daisy-like flowers from August through the fall. It is an excellent choice for adding color to the garden when many other perennials have finished blooming.

No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. If you have curious pets that tend to chew on garden plants, you may want to place this sunflower in an area of the yard that is inaccessible to them.
