Despite its sunflower-like appearance, this upright perennial is also called False Sunflower because unlike true sunflowers (genus Helianthus), the flower head retains its rays. Smooth Oxeye typically grows 3 to 4 feet tall and features yellow-orange, daisy-like flowers with cone-shaped central disks, blooming throughout the summer.
