Jerusalem-Artichoke, Sunchoke, is a perennial, herbaceous plant that grows up to 8 feet tall, branching coarse, hairy, and stout stems. The yellow flower heads, 3 to 4 inches across, bloom in late summer through fall and attract birds for their seeds. It grows in full sun and moist to dry soil, and its foliage and edible tubers are eaten by deer and livestock.
