Soluna Lemon (Helianthus Debilis) Beach Sunflower

This Florida native sunflower is a butterfly magnet perfect for use in hot, dry and moderately saline gardens. Also known as ‘cucumberleaf’ sunflower it is native to the United States, where it can be found along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. This east coast dune sunflower is fast-growing and highly salt-tolerant plant that thrives in sandy, well-drained soil in full sun. Helianthus debilis blooms almost year-round with lemon, daisy-like or sunflower-like flowers that have yellow petals and brown centers. Because of their year-round flowering, these plants can be especially good for brightening up the landscape during the warm and cool temperature extremes during the year. This plant is used as a garden flower. It is also good for landscaping, especially in poor, dry soils.
