Pale-Leaved Sunflower

Pale-Leaved Sunflower is well-suited to naturalistic plantings and woodland gardens with dappled sunlight. It produces large, daisy-like yellow flowers with dark centers from late summer to early fall, providing a vital nectar source during a time when many other plants have ceased blooming. Its broad, pale green leaves distinguish it from other sunflowers and add textural interest to the garden. Thriving in partial shade to full sun, Pale-Leaved Sunflower prefers well-drained soil but is adaptable to a variety of conditions, including dry shaded areas.

• Tolerates some drought but prefers consistent moisture for optimal growth.
• Deadheading spent flowers can encourage additional blooms and prevent excessive self-seeding.
• Adaptable to a range of soil types but performs best in well-drained, fertile soil.
• Divide clumps in the spring every few years to control spread and maintain plant vigor.
• Monitor for pests and diseases like mildew and treat as necessary to maintain plant health.
