Small Wood Sunflower (Helianthus microcephalus 'Lemon Queen') is a prolific bloomer that is very attractive to pollinators and birds. A native to North America, it grows to between 4 and 7 feet tall in a bushy habit with many branching stems and blossoms. Its bushiness provides good ground cover for wildlife, and its height creates perching space for birds, which also enjoy its seeds. The late summer blooms are a cheerful yellow. This self-seeding perennial is hardy in zones 4-9 and will delight year after year.
