Helianthus, commonly known as sunflowers, encompasses a diverse genus of annual and perennial plants native to North America. These plants typically exhibit an erect growth habit, ranging from dwarf varieties to towering giants. Their foliage is often rough and sandpapery, featuring broad, green leaves. Renowned for their large, daisy-like yellow flower heads, they thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. They are vital for wildlife, providing nectar for pollinators and seeds for birds.
