Helianthella uniflora var. uniflora (Rocky Mountain Dwarf Sunflower) 75 Seeds

(Asteraceae)

A more drought tolerant sunflower found growing on rocky hillsides amongst oak and shrub-steppe. Keystone species of mountain shrub communities. Try planting with Artemisia, Optunita, Symphoricarpos and Gambel's Oak for a wildlife and pollinator forward start to a native mountain yard. 

Excellent choice for pollinator gardens and mesic native yards. Not great planted as a monoculture but rather in many small patches throughout your space.

Wild or Homegrown: Wild

Seasonality: May-August

Germination: 60 days cool-moist(37-41°) stratification either in the fridge folded in single paper towel.

Or plant outdoors around the first snowfall.
