Native perennial sunflower relative
Oxeye Sunflower
Golden daisy-like blooms with long-season color and sturdy perennial structure.
Oxeye Sunflower delivers the look of a small sunflower on a perennial plant that can become part of the garden’s long-term structure. Its golden flowers suit sunny naturalized areas, pollinator gardens, back borders, and loose summer bouquets, while the upright habit gives a meadow height without the scale of a true sunflower.
