Description
This photograph was taken at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden in Belmont, NC.
I believe this flower is referred to as " First Light." First Light is a perennial sunflower cultivar that produces a clump of foliage to 44� tall. Foliage is covered in fall (September�October) with a profuse bloom of 2.5-3� diameter sunflowers with golden yellow rays and brown center disks. Narrow, hairy, linear leaves (to 4� long). Parents of this patented cultivar are unpatented H. salicifolia (willow-leaved sunflower) cultivars �Golden Pyramid� and �Autumn Glory�. An introduction of Blooms of Bressingham who have given it the common name of willow-leaved sunflower. U. S. Plant Patent #13,150 issued October 29, 2002. Source: Missouri Boatanical Garden Website
