Location
Type
Annuals/Per.
Despite its sunflower-like appearance, this upright perennial is also called False Sunflower because unlike true sunflowers (genus Helianthus), the flower head retains its rays. Smooth Oxeye typically grows 3 to 4 feet tall and features yellow-orange, daisy-like flowers with cone-shaped central disks, blooming throughout the summer. It can withstand dry, sandy or clay soils, and full sun to partial shade.
