Product page > Variant picker block.This beautiful and carefree native cultivar offers a more compact habit and good disease resistance compared to other varieties of Heliopsis. 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! 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.
To cultivate Heliopsis helianthoides successfully, plant it in well-draining soil with good moisture retention. This plant thrives in full sun conditions and can tolerate some light shade. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Best grown in zones 3-9.
At maturity, Heliopsis helianthoides typically reaches a height of 3 to 5 feet and spreads about 2 to 3 feet in width. 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 forms a bushy and upright clump, making it an excellent choice for the back of borders or as a background plant in mixed perennial beds.
