"Torn Sunflower" you could call this plant because, like the Doronicum, its flower heads contain very thin, yellow ray florets (petals). These are substantial plants (up to 1½m tall), blooming from June to October. The rhizome is used as a tea as an expectorant for persistent coughs and asthma. It is also strongly anti-infective and stomach-soothing.
