$6.99
Tough and hardy native wildflower, also known as Gravelweed or Actinomeris helianthoides.
This plants reminds of woodland sunflower (Helianthus divaricatus), but flower much earlier from June to July/August. Yellow daisy-like flowers, up to 3' tall winged stems (up to 2' wide clumps), somewhat fuzzy leaves. The flowers are rather big 2-2.5" in diameter and are not completely neat-flat, but they are still very showy.
This perennial is native to AL , AR , GA , IA , IL , IN , KS , KY , LA , MO , MS , NC , OH , OK , TN , TX, and it naturally occurs in rocky or dry open woods, prairies, along railroads and in thickets.
Grows well in full sun, half shade, average soil, or shallow or poor soils. It can tolerate some clay (but drier, not waterlogged). Ideally prefers average moisture, or medium-dry soils, and it may wilt with serious droughts, but also recover quickly with first rain.
Because it spreads by underground rhizomes, it is not suitable for conventional flower bed, but rather for naturalization in meadows, as erosion control, in woodland edges, light woodland gardens or places with shallow or infertile soils. Can be used in drier shade too.
It is very valuable plant for native pollinators - especially bumblebees, but also other long-tongued bees. Also some short-tongued bees, butterflies, and skippers avisit the flowers. The long tubes of the disk florets make the nectar inaccessible to many insects with shorter tongues (flies and wasps). The caterpillars of the Silvery Checkerspot butterfly and Gold Moth feed on the foliage.
The leafs don't suffer with any disease and because if it's bitterness, this plant is hardly bothered by the deer or rabbits.
