(Giant Sunflower)
The aptly named giant sunflower can reach huge heights. Though not commonly garden cultivated, it offers lovely yellow daisies in midsummer or fall. Native populations exist across much of eastern North America from Quebec down to Georgia. It favors swampy areas, moist meadows and old fields. The plants have tall, upright stems and form substantial clumps.
The leaves of giant sunflower are lance-shaped, rich green and borne on green or purple stems. Bloom time depends on geographic location....

(Giant Sunflower)
Introduced in 1994 by the North Carolina-based Niche Gardens, 'Sheila's Sunshine' has lots of lovely pastel yellow flowers that appear in summer or early fall. The plants become quite tall, like wild-type Helianthus giganteus, so it is essential to offer them lots of growing space.

(Maximilian's Sunflower)
This is one of the most cultivated of the tall perennial sunflowers. It is a true prairie forb that exists across much of North America from California to Quebec. Natural populations favor rocky or fertile prairies, limestone-rich soils, roadsides and old fields. The plants have tall, upright stems and form substantial clumps.
The long, fuzzy, green leaves of Maximilian's sunflower curve backwards and look as if they've been folded upwards at the ends, so water funnels across them as if from...

The flowers are very attractive to insects and fragrant at night.
This easy to grow ornamental flowers best in full sun. Use Dame’s rocket in a mixed border or a wild garden. Double flowered cultivars, such as ‘Alba Plena’,...

(Alumroot, Marmalade Alumroot)
Full sun tough with incredibly hot color foliage, this small hardy perennial offers exciting looks all year long. It is one of the new cultivars of the old plant known as coral bells, which was grown primarily for its flowers. But contemporary breeding of American native Heuchera species has yielded a whole new generation of cultivars created exclusively for their colored leaves. This small clumping perennial is a perfect example, producing fancy ruffled leaves that feature brownish orange...
