Showy Sunflower

Helianthus pauciflorus

Showy Sunflower, also called Stiff Sunflower is set to add a splash of vibrant yellow to the garden during the late summer months. This sun-loving plant features sturdy, erect stems that can grow up to 6 feet tall, topped with large, daisy-like flowers. Each bloom has a central disk of dark brown surrounded by golden-yellow petals, attracting a variety of pollinators including bees and butterflies. It's an ideal choice for naturalistic plantings and wildflower meadows where it can freely spread and create a stunning visual impact.
