Helianthus giganteus

Helianthus giganteus is also known as Giant Sunflower or Tall Sunflower. It can grow up to 13 feet tall. If there were a clone of me, and I stood on my clone's head, the Helianthus giganteus would still be taller.

The flower is native to the eastern United States. Just like me. The flower is most commonly found in valleys with wet meadows or swamps. Not like me.


These sunflowers are no longer speaking to each other.
