Our iconic native sunflower will bring you joy when its large, sunny blooms burst forth from its large arrow-shaped leaves in spring to early summer.
Depending on your soils, it could remain a stout but short 8 in., or grow a few feet in height! Tolerates drought and neglect, but it won't say "no" to a little love from the home gardener to entice more robust growth.
Plant in full sun in soils with some drainage, and pair with other sunny perennials, ornamental grasses, and subshrubs.
