American dogweed
Verbesina encelioides
American dogweed is a vigorous, fast-growing wildflower that thrives in disturbed soils and tolerates a wide range of conditions, making it very easy to grow in sunny garden beds or borders. Its bright yellow daisy-like flowers attract pollinators throughout the summer and fall. Plant in full sun to partial shade and provide occasional watering during prolonged dry spells for best performance.
