Garden Plant: False Sunflower
False Sunflower
Product Description: False Sunflower
Very Large, Crisp Native Perennial
If you need a bold presence at the back of your garden border, or to use along a long fence, consider False Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides), as an easy care, fast-growing, cheerful native perennial. This fun-loving plant has several nicknames including smooth oxeye and Oxeye Sunflower.
Fans of butterflies will approve of this upright bloom factory. This is great nectar source for butterflies and pollinators, and birds love the seeds.
This is the native variety that produces bright yellow daisy-like blooms for months during the growing season. Because it gets quite tall, you can rely on it to be a backdrop in a “garden room”. Forest green, coarse foliage sets the stage for smaller perennials to shine.
Plant this with blue or purple blooming plants for an incredible, high contrast display. Punch it up with pink flowering perennials. Or, pair with other warm shades of yellow and orange for an energetic, monochromatic, modern look.
Because this is a native wildflower, in some areas it may perform a little “too well”. You are protected with our subscription to Plant Sentry, which helps us comply with all local and state regulations for regionally invasive plants.
