Bush Sunflower

Flower heads are “daisies” with a purplish brown eye of disk florets (the delicate coloring can best be seen through a magnifying lens), surrounded by 15-25 bright yellow ray florets, which may be blunt or lobed at the tip. One to a few flower heads are produced from a long, loosely branched stem; flower heads extend above the foliage. The main bloom period is February through June, but single flower heads may be found throughout the year, especially where a little water is available.
