This lovely wild sunflower species grows well in a variety of soil types; it is native to the United States, Canada, and parts of Mexico. Prairie Sunflower is an annual and has an extended blooming season of June-September. Birds, butterflies, and native bees are attracted to the bright yellow flowers.
Sunflowers were named for their habit of turning their faces to the sun. At the beginning of the development they exhibit heliotropism, or following the sun in its course from east to west, though the mature blossoms usually end up facing straight east. Helianthus Occidentalis are said to be the happiest of flowers, and in the language of flowers they symbolize loyalty and constancy. This particular sunflower is "western" not because it originates in the American West, but rather because it grows mainly in the western nations of the United States and Europe. FAST FACTS
