Long lasting flowers are golden yellow and daisy-like, appearing in late summer and lasting until hard frost. The flowers are in abundance on this well-branched dwarf variety, covering the plant with color when little else is still blooming. It is low maintenance and drought tolerant once established. Late blooming sunflowers feed pollinators late in the season and birds will eat the seeds through the winter. Native to the prairies of south-central United States.
