This is Swamp Sunflower, Helianthus angustifolius.
It brightens up a cloudy autumn day. Contrary to its common name, it doesn't need wet conditions to grow. If it's dry, the plant is just shorter than its normal 8 feet. |

Aster "Raydon's Favorite" blooms early, then offers color late into the fall. It tolerates drought and is virtually pest free. |

The blue green of the remaining summer leaves contrast with the spectacular sunlit fall leaves of Hamemelis virginiana, our native Witch Hazel. Fragrant blooms in the winter time make this an outstanding small tree for the garden. |
