Helianthella quinquenervis
Five-nerve helianthella is a cheerful, sun-tolerant native sunflower relative that produces bright yellow daisy-like blooms attractive to pollinators and seed-eating birds throughout summer. It grows vigorously in well-drained soils with partial shade and is well suited to mountain meadow gardens, native plant landscapes, and naturalized areas in the Rocky Mountain region. Once established, it requires minimal care beyond occasional watering and is a rewarding choice for low-maintenance wildflow
