Description
A description of Helianthus strumosus is provided in The Flora of North America.
Helianthus strumosus is a perennial herbaceous species. It is colonial, with perennating rhizomes. This species also tends to be a taller species, with stems up to two meters long.[2]
Distribution
The distribution of this plant ranges from Maine, west to Minnesota and Kansas, and south to Panhandle Florida and Texas.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
H. strumosus occurs in drier, well-drained uplands, including sandy ridges, shaly slopes of oak-pine woods, crests of limestone bluffs, prairie over chalk, pine woodlands, and rocky embankments.[2] It also seems to prefer higher light conditions, occurring in clearings and edges of woodlands, and other open, sunny locations. In addition to more rocky soils, it can be found in sandy silt, sandy clay, or sandy loam. This species also occurs in disturbed habitat, including roadsides, power line corridors, and semi-cleared woodlands. Associated species include Longeleaf pine and Oak species.[2]
Phenology
Helianthus strumosus has been observed flowering in August[3]. Fruiting has been observed in July and August.[2]
Fire ecology
This species has been found in annually burned pine woodlands[2] such as the Wade Tract in south Georgia where populations of Helianthus strumosus have been known to persist through repeated annual burns.[4]
Pollination
Helianthus strumosus has been observed to host ground-nesting bees such as Andrena aliciae (family Andrenidae), bees such as Melissodes illata (family Apidae), and aphids from the family Aphididae such as Aphis sp. and Uroleucon sp..[5]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
Cultural use
Native Americans used the ground plants in baking, and they used the seeds as a decongestant and crushed roots on bruises.[6]
