Lots of these are blooming along Hwy 49!

Those bright yellow flowers you’re seeing along the highways and ditches are called swamp sunflowers (Helianthus angustifolius)!

These plants appear in the fall and are native, herbaceous perennials. The flowers grow on single and multibranched stems, and their native habitats range from lowland sites such as bottomland and floodplains to drier upland areas. They prefer full sun but tolerate partial shade. These native beauties attract both birds for seed and bees for nectar and pollen.
