Heliopsis (False Sunflower)
Color Name: Tuscan Sun
Rich yellow blooms amid dark foliage all summer. This beautiful and carefree native perennial offers a more compact habit and good disease resistance compared to other varieties of Heliopsis. It is resistant to powdery mildew.
Bright golden yellow, daisy-like flowers with an orange-gold button center are produced on strong stems from mid through late summer atop the deep green foliage. It provides a brilliant beacon of color in the landscape during the hottest months of summer. Be sure to plant a few extra for your fresh bouquets!
Growing Tips: Heliopsis can be grown in either full sun or part shade, but it performs much better in full sun. Soil of average fertility is preferable. When grown in moist, rich soil, it tends to need staking. Growth will be strongest in soil with average fertility and moisture. Deadheading spent flower heads will extend the flowering time and prevent self-seeding.
