Woodland Sunflower

Unlike many of its cousins, Woodland Sunflower prefers life on the shady side, thriving in a shade or partial sun garden. This robust perennial typically reaches 3 to 4 feet in height and spreads through rhizomes, forming clumps of slender, rough-textured leaves and branching stems. From late summer to early fall, it produces multiple small, bright yellow flowers with dark centers, attracting various pollinators before supporting seed-eating birds in autumn.

• Chop around base of well established plants to keep rhizomatic spread in check if desired
• Deadheading is optional but can help control self-seeding and encourage a tidier appearance.
• Divide clumps in the spring every few years to manage spread and rejuvenate the plants.
