Sunflower like blooms perch on top of nearly leafless stems that reach heights of ten feet! The bright yellow flowers bloom in loose clusters on the upper parts of the plant from mid to late summer, and can reach three inches wide. The lower parts of the plant is where you will find the large, dark green, heart-shaped leaves. Expect to see bees and Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds at these showy blooms! Goldfinches will also visit as the seeds ripen!
