Beach Dune Sunflower
Helianthus debilis

Notes: Dune sunflowers are superb groundcover plants for Florida. They prefer our well drained, sandy soil and thrive in the hot sun, even on the beach dunes! The growth is fast on these plants and will provide full groundcover in those hot difficult areas of your landscape. Flowers generally appear year round however, may become dormant in colder winter temperatures.
