SEED SIZE: VERY SMALL SEEDS!
Woodland Sunflower is especially suitable for dry, open woodland or savanna. It resembles a number of other species of sunflower, and some of these species hybridize naturally, making identification difficult. The plants are rhizomatous and spread vigorously, and therefore may not be suitable for small planting areas.
WILDLIFE BENEFITS
The flower nectar and pollen appeals to honey bees, native bees, beneficial wasps, pollinating flies, butterflies, skippers and beetles. At least 6 species of specialty bees (that only pollinate Helianthus spp.) visit the flowers. Helianthus divaricatus hosts caterpillars of checkerspot butterflies, painted lady butterflies and several moths. Seeds are eaten by several types of gamebirds, songbirds and by small mammals. Mature colonies provide cover for many kinds of wildlife.
