Helianthus debilis

It is an excellent salt-tolerant groundcover with very nice flowers that provides pollinating sources for some insects. Drought-tolerant; suitable for xeriscaping.

Helianthus maximiliani

A branching perennial herb, growing from a stout rhizome and reaches heights. The slender, tall, erect stems and alternately-arranged leaves are covered in rough hairs. Large, showy, yellow blooms occur throughout the full 5-7 feet height of the plant in great abundance during late summer and fall. During this period, the plant adds a brilliant splash of color and texture to range sites, natural areas, and landscapes.

The thick rhizome is edible and provided a food similar to the Jerusalem artichoke.

It may be used as a natural hedge or tall screen to block out harsh areas. It also makes a colorful, attractive landscape plant.

It has the potential of being an excellent filter strip plant due to its seemingly great ability to uptake and use excess water and nutrients.

Tithonia diversifolia

Sunflower Tree, also known as the Tree Marigold, is a perfect choice if you want a fast-growing shrub to hide something you don't like in just a few months. But that's not all! This tree also has beautiful sunflower-like flowers that look really happy.

The Sunflower Tree grows really quickly and has cute flowers that are about 2-3 inches wide. When it's fully grown, it's about 10 feet tall and 10 feet wide, like a big, cozy blanket.

Even when it gets a bit chilly in winter and there's a light freeze, the Sunflower Tree doesn't mind too much. It bounces back every spring, even stronger than before, like a champion.

If you live in Central Florida where it sometimes gets a little frosty, the Sunflower Tree is a super good choice. It's like a tough, colorful wall that grows fast and makes your yard look awesome.
