Helianthus
is a
genus
comprising about 70
species
of annual and perennial
flowering plants
in the daisy family
Asteraceae
.
Except for three
South American
species, the species of
Helianthus
are native to
North America
and
Central America
. The common names "sunflower" and "common sunflower" typically refer to the popular annual species
Helianthus annuus
, whose round flower heads in combination with the
ligules
look like the sun.
This and other species, notably
Jerusalem artichoke
(
H. tuberosus
), are cultivated in
temperate
regions and some
tropical
regions as food crops for humans, cattle, and poultry, and as ornamental plants.
The species
H. annuus
typically grows during the summer and into early fall, with the peak growth season being mid-summer.
Several
perennial
Helianthus
species are grown in gardens, but have a tendency to spread rapidly and can become aggressive. The whorled sunflower,
Helianthus verticillatus
, was listed as an
endangered
species in 2014 when the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
issued a final rule protecting it under the
Endangered Species Act
. The primary threats are
industrial forestry
and
pine
plantations in Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. They grow to 1.8 m (6 ft) and are primarily found in woodlands, adjacent to creeks and moist, prairie-like areas.
Thanks for looking at this listing and have a great day!
