This is the grandfather of all sunflowers.This wild plant was first cultivated and domesticated by Native Americans for use as a seed crop, and with careful selection, they developed varieties with much larger seeds. The seeds were eaten and also used to make sunflower oil.The flowers attract bee's and butterflies, especially Whites and Sulphurs (Family Pieridae) in the fall.The flower heads are up to 5 inches across and have yellow, pleated rays and a red-brown central disk. The leaves have a rough, scratchy texture and are green, lance-ovate, egg-shaped, or heart-shaped, and up to 1 foot long. The stem leaves are alternate. The leaves and stems are covered in stiff hairs. This wildflower is highly variable and also hybridizes easily.Common Sunflowers have many cultivars and are grown as a seed and oil crop, as ornamental garden flowers, and as a wildlife food plant.
