Its original distribution is not clear because it was widely spread by natives who cultivated it for the edible tubers. The original range probably was the northern Great Plains of Canada and the Jerusalem artichoke grows in moist soils in old fields, along roads and the edges of forests. Here, it is growing wild along the creek. I love the look of the big clumps and the individual flowers are pretty kool too. ;•) Joan |
