The Common Wooly Sunflower is native to northern California up to British Columbia and east to Wyoming. Many cultivars are available. Generally, they grow less than 1 foot to 2 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide. They have upright stems with wooly leaves and a singular sunflower atop each stem. It tolerates a wide variety of well-draining soils. Cut back in late winter to renew.
