π» Oxeye Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides) Oxeye Sunflower is a long-blooming native perennial that brings bold golden-yellow flowers to the garden from early summer into fall. Unlike annual sunflowers, this beauty comes back year after year, forming sturdy clumps topped with sunny, daisy-like blooms that pollinators absolutely love. Perfect for regenerative gardens, meadow plantings, and low-maintenance beds, Oxeye Sunflower thrives in a wide range of soils and handles drought once established. Itβs equally at home in a tidy flower border or naturalized along a fence line.
