Grown for their striking and colorful flowers, Helianthus (Sunflowers) can be annuals or perennials, with coarse simple leaves and large, showy daisy blossoms. Native primarily to North and South America, they belong to the aster family (Asteraceae) and count up to 70 species.
Because of the plants' aggressive growth and broad root expansion, they can quickly become invasive, so plant them in an area of the garden where this won't become a problem.
