Maximilian sunflowers grow at 7,200 ft in the Colorado Rockies.
Merry
Illinois bundleflower? And Wes Jackson is also growing Maximilian sunflower
in
Kansas, but that may be zone 5. Both have significant quantities of oil. Most

I've just realized that I don't know of a single one good for zone 4 or
colder. The closest thing to this that I do know is the seeds of most
fruits such as apple, pear, peach and apricot have a small amount of oil
and the seeds themselves are inedible because of the cyanide content.
The composition of persimmon and pawpaw seeds needs to be checked on.
