Ox-Eye Sunflower
The Ox-Eye Sunflower is a hardy, perennial wildflower that offers a striking display of bright yellow blooms with golden centers, resembling a smaller version of the traditional sunflower. Native to North America, this beautiful plant is well-loved for its long-lasting flowers that attract pollinators, including bees and butterflies, throughout the summer and into early fall. Growing 3 to 5 feet tall, Ox-Eye Sunflower thrives in full sun and can tolerate a variety of soil types, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. It is also drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance addition to gardens, meadows, or naturalized areas.
In addition to its ornamental value, the Ox-Eye Sunflower is an excellent plant for erosion control, thanks to its deep root system that helps stabilize the soil. This resilient flower is ideal for pollinator gardens, wildflower mixes, and native plant landscapes, where it can grow in clumps or naturalized settings.
