Helianthus divaricatus has multiple semi-erect, branching stems lined with large, opposite lance-shaped leaves and topped with multiple small flowers. The abundant blooms are yellow with a yellow center and about 2″ across. Slowly forms colonies through rhizomes, and should be divided every 3-4 years to curb its spread if space is limited. This plant thrives in woodland shade, but will also tolerate sunny areas. Bees flock to the flowers, even when other plant species are blooming nearby
