Helianthus mollis

About

Helianthus mollis is a species of sunflower known by the common names ashy sunflower or downy sunflower. It is widespread across much of the United States and Canada, primarily the Great Lakes region from Ontario south to Texas and Alabama. However, it is considered to be locally endangered within the state of Ohio. Additional populations are found in the states of the Atlantic Coast from Maine to Georgia, but these appear to be introduced.
