Scientific Name: Helianthus debilis
Common Names: Beach Sunflower, Dune Sunflower
Overview: Add a burst of sunshine to your garden with Helianthus debilis, commonly known as the Beach Sunflower or Weak Sunflower. This resilient perennial is a floriferous wonder, bringing a sea of cheerful, daisy-like yellow flowers that brighten any corner with a touch of the wild meadow. Each blossom, centered with a dark eye, sits atop sturdy stems surrounded by coarsely textured leaves. Adaptable and hardy, it reaches a mature size of about 3-4 feet in height and spread.
The Beach Sunflower loves full sun and tolerates a variety of soil conditions, from sandy dunes to garden loam, making it ideal for xeriscaping, coastal areas, or as a vibrant addition to drought-tolerant landscapes. Its long blooming season and ability to attract pollinators like butterflies and bees make it a must-have for eco-friendly gardens and those looking to support local biodiversity.
We’re closed for the winter season. Products are viewable, and we’ll reopen in spring.
A Sunny, Sprawling Groundcover That Charms with Yellow Daisy-Like Flowers
The Beach or Dune Sunflower blooms year-round in warm climates. The genus name Helianthus derives from the Latin Heli (sun) and Anthus (flower). A magnet for bees and butterflies, many birds like to feast on its seeds. An interesting fact about these perennials is that the flower head will follow the sun throughout the day.
The Dune Sunflower grows up to 2 ft. tall. It can spread quickly, and plants merge together to form large patches. Drought-resistant, the Dune Sunflower prefers moist, well drained sandy soil.
