Heliopsis helianthoides ‘Summer Nights’


False Sunflower

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.255.260


False Sunflowers are reliable for their very long season of bloom. This outstanding selection forms a tall clump with beet-red stems and green leaves tinged with bronze. The large single daisy flowers are golden yellow with a contrasting mahogany-red centre, a total colour breakthrough. Outstanding cut flowers. Removing faded flowers regularly will greatly extend the blooming season. May require staking, particularly when grown in very rich garden soil. Easily divided in early spring. Easy and always rewarding. Attractive to butterflies.
