‘Sheila’s Sunshine’ is a
light yellow cultivar of Swamp Sunflower (Helianthus giganteus).
Despite the common name, this plant has thrived under the
average to dry soil conditions of our butterfly garden where it
is actually more attractive to bees, such as the bumblebee
shown here, than butterflies - not surprising, daisy-shaped
flowers are mostly desinged to be easily worked by bees.
