Description
Reviews

Some wild American sunflowers form edible rhizomes and were staple foods among many North American tribes. The most famous root sunflower species is of course Helianthus Tuberosus, Topinambur. Helianthus Maximiliani forms somewhat smaller rhizomes and is also used for culinary purposes. The tubers have a strong sunflower aroma and are eaten fried or cooked. The Maximilian sunflower is also a perennial ornamental plant - it grows up to 2 meters high and blooms until late autumn.

Sonnenblumen-Spezialität
Vor gut 2 Jahren habe ich Samen dieser Pflanze hier bestellt. Direkt ausgesät, kamen super, wuchsen ca. 2-4 Meter hoch (Je nach Nährstoffangebot/Licht). Dann, ab Mitte August, spriessen duzende Sonnenblumenblüte an den Stängeln, bis spät in den Herbst. Jetzt, in der 2. Saison, wachsen sie noch Höher hinaus und verzweigen sich sogar noch, im Augenblick auch schon mit hunderten kleinen Sonnenblumenköpfchen bestückt. Wirklich einer meiner neuen Lieblingspflanzen, die Knollen schmecken echt gut, Pflanzen sind robust und es macht Spass, ihnen beim hoch hinaus wachsen und blühen zuzuschauen.
