When it does not freeze, the Confederate rose can reach heights of 12–15 ft (3.7–4.6 m) with a woody trunk. However, a much bushier plant 5–6 ft (1.5–1.8 m) high is more typical and provides more flowering. The flowers are attractive to pollinators, including the specialized bee Ptilothrix bombiformis. [3]
It will flower in full sun, partial shade, or total shade, and requires well-drained soil (if constantly kept damp it may succumb to fungal infection), moderate water, moderate fertilizer, and a climbing structure (whether a trellis or another plant is secondary). Propagation is most commonly done with cuttings/clones. [7]

With other related species of lupines also called bluebonnets, it is the state flower of Texas. [2] [3] It is an annual [4] which begins its life as a small ...
Producing pink or white flowers from spring to autumn, it forms underground tubers and large rootstocks. It is a prolific seed producer. The seeds float on water. The fruit and seeds are eaten and spread by a wide range of animals such as pigs, racoons and birds. The tubers will resprout if the plant is cut back or damaged by frost.
Helianthus porteri is a species of sunflower known by the common names Porter's sunflower, [2] Stone Mountain daisy [3] and Confederate daisy. The term "daisy" is imprecise because the species is a sunflower rather than a daisy (Bellis and related genera). Likewise, although the plant grows on Stone Mountain, GA, its range extends well beyond.
The flower can have either globose or elongated fruit capsule, which is narrowly ovate and contains four dark reddish-brown seeds. Each seed contains a fringe of white or yellow silky hairs. Flowers of I. arborescens are major nectar sources for lesser long nosed bats, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer feed on the fallen flowers. [2]
