Offered by SSE with the following description: "This robust sunflower spreads slowly by rhizomes. An abundance of butter-yellow flowers are borne on soft, hairy stems. A favorite with many kinds of birds, so hurry to save seeds. Plants often grow 6' tall and thrive even on poor, dry soils. Hardy to zone 4."
