These plants can reach heights of 8 feet or more when well grown, making them ideal as a screen or background in gardens. Their striking flower heads feature brown centers surrounded by yellow petals, often measuring up to 12 inches across. Once dried, the seed heads can be harvested and sold as-is for wild bird food. Alternatively, they can be spread out under cover until the seeds loosen and fall out of the heads, then packaged for snacks or baking.
