Heliopsis Sunstruck

New Blooms Nursery Verified independent store

Large yellow blooms sit over white/green foliage that appears silvery at a distance, but upon closer inspection is embroidered with intricate variegation. This smaller sport of var iegated heliopsis opens up new options for those who love this long lasting perennial, but don't have the room or want the height. Heliopsis is a long blooming native plant that makes excellent cut flowers from early summer to fall. If you like floral arrangements we consider this flower a must. Just save some for your butterflies and bees so they have access to this consistent source of food. We love this shorter Heliopsis because it provides you with so many options! It is an excellent perennial that can be used in the middle to front of flower borders, it works great in mass plantings and with its ornamental foliage it is a real workhorse in the garden. Pair it with Helenium or Coneflower for an amazing late-summer/fall butterfly garden. You can also use Helenium in combination containers and in naturalized areas to feed your butterflies and pollinators. Photo Credit: Walter Gardens Show more
