False Sunflower, Rays for Days

Description

False SunflowerAn incredibly dense, well-rounded selection perfect for brightening up the middle of the border. Large, fully double flowers are golden yellow. Tall stems and a Zinnia-like appearance make them a perfect cut flower selection. Our most floriferous selection to date. Excellent heat and drought tolerance.Heliopsis have traditionally been an excellent tall perennial for the middle or back of the flower border. It has a bushy, well-branched form and glossy, deep green, triangular leaves – a real workhorse in the garden! Use this plant in combination containers, as a cut flower, or to attract butterflies to your garden.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.Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens, Inc.
