Helianthus salicifolius
Willow-leaved Sunflower
Blooms in late summer or early fall with clusters of two inch wide, medium yellow sunflowers with dark brown centers on whitish green stems. It makes a good cut flower. The distinctive foliage, narrow, drooping, willow-like pale green leaves, provides interest all through the growing season. It will spread over time to form a dense colony. The plants can be cut back through late June to promote denser habit.
