Additional Information: Sawtooth Sunflower is a towering Oklahoma native wildflower known for its abundant golden-yellow, sunflower-like blooms and distinctive sharply toothed leaves. Its late-season flowers provide valuable nectar and pollen for pollinators, while its seeds offer food for birds. Sawtooth Sunflower spreads vigorously through underground rhizomes, forming impressive colonies that provide excellent wildlife habitat. Its height and spreading habit make it particularly well suited for prairie restorations, large pollinator gardens, naturalized areas, and the back of spacious garden borders where it has room to grow.
