Good to know

Towering size and massive flower heads create high visual impact and serve as excellent living garden structures or privacy walls
Produces high yields of large, nutritious, easily shelled gray-striped seeds for roasting or winter wild bird feed
Rigid, thick woody trunks naturally resist lodging better than smaller-stemmed tall flower varieties

Single-stem habit yields only one flower head per plant—not suitable as a continuous cut-and-come-again bouquet flower
Heavy seed heads can top-heavy bend or lean in severe autumn windstorms, occasionally requiring sturdy staking or perimeter fence support
