Helianthus tuberosus / Jerusalem Artichoke

A tall and fast growing perennial, Helianthus tuberosus can reach heights of 3-6 feet with pleasing multi stemmed yellow blooms that emerge in late summer through the fall. Edible tubers have been cultivated in North America for tens of thousands of years and eaten as a no-starch, healthier alternative to potatoes! These plants can grow rather aggressively and will need to be thinned or contained over time.
