Helianthus Species, Jerusalem Artichoke, Sunchoke, Sunroot (Helianthus tuberosus)
It bloomed at only about 2 feet tall! (July 14th, 2002, East TN)
These are so pretty this time of year when everything else in my yard seems to be dieing back, these are just bursting with beautiful color!!
A tray of tubers just dug from the ground in early spring.
A few tubers after washing.
