Plant Introduction to the Elderly Sunflower

The Elderly Sunflower, also known as Helianthus annuus var. giganteus, is thought to be a natural variant of the common sunflower and was first cultivated by Native Americans for its seeds. These giant plants often reach heights of over 10 feet and feature large yellow flowers with a dark center. The leaves are large and lobed, similar to those of the common sunflower. The plants have a long taproot that helps them withstand drought. The growth cycle begins with germination in spring, followed by rapid growth in summer. Flowers bloom in late summer to early fall, and seeds mature and are dispersed in the fall. The Elderly Sunflower can self-seed and spread easily in suitable habitats.
