Helianthus agrestis is a species of sunflower known by the common name southeastern sunflower. It is one of 150 sunflower species in the genus Helianthus.[1] It is found only in the states of Florida and Georgia in the southeastern United States.[2][3] This plant is native to Florida.[4] It grows in wet soil in marshes and pine flatwoods at elevations less than 50 meters (170 feet) elevation.[5][6]

Description

Helianthus agrestis plants can grow up to one meter tall. Helianthus agrestis is a flowering plant that has bright orange-yellow rays.[6] Each plant can have about 10-15 rays and up to 50 disc florets.[5] The bright colors on this plant make it attractive to many pollinators.[7] The leaves of this plant are oval shaped and have a petiolate attachment and alternate on the stem.[5][6] The stem is branched and hairy with some pubescence.[6]

Growth

Helianthus agrestis are an annual species that flower in the late summer to early fall months.[5]Helianthus species require a lot of sun to grow. For optimal growth, the plant should get at least 6 hours of full sun a day.[1] Sunflower seeds also contain a toxic substance that will kill all nearby grass.[8]

Habitat

Helianthus agrestis is native to Florida. Outside of Florida, it is also only found in Thomasville, Georgia.[9]

Significance

Helianthus agrestis is a popular plant amongst humans for cosmetic and decorative purposes. In wildlife, birds and small mammals consume Helianthus agrestis seeds.[4] It is primarily pollinated by bees.[4]
