Paleleaf Woodland Sunflower

Helianthus strumosus

The large, yellow flowers of Woodland Sunflower brighten up shady gardens from late summer into early autumn. Woodland Sunflower grows well on the edges of woodlands and in woodland openings, but does best when receiving a few hours of direct sunlight. The plants spreads by rhizomes to form large stands. Like all sunflowers, the flowers of Woodland Sunflower produce seed that is enjoyed by songbirds.



The woodland garden typically lacks summer color. Woodland Sunflower cures that problem! Grows three to five feet in any well-drained soil. As with all sunflowers, birds go nuts on the seeds.

	Large flowers for shady, late-summer gardens
