Helianthus mollis, also known as Downy Sunflower, is a perennial wildflower native to the central and southeastern United States. It is known for its distinctive soft, downy foliage and bright, cheerful flowers. The plant typically grows to a height of 2 to 4 feet (60 to 120 cm). Blooming occurs from late summer to early fall.

Downy Sunflower thrives best in full sun. It requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day to grow vigorously and produce abundant flowers. The plant prefers well-drained soil and can tolerate a range of soil types, including sandy or loamy soil. While it is adaptable, good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
