About the Helipsos -
Summer Sun Sunflower :
The Helipsos 'Summer Sun Sunflower', Heliopsis
helianthiodes, is a great combination of large,
orange-yellow flowers with dark green foliage.
Blooming from July till frost, this Heliopsis grows
to 4’ tall with a plant spread of 18-24”. This easy
to grow perennial attracts butterflies and is deer
resistant. ‘Summer Sun Sunflower’ needs to be grown
in full sun, but can tolerate some afternoon shade.
It can be planted in average, well-drained soil,
but do not allow it to dry out. A wonderful addition
to island beds or in the back or borders or as cut
flowers. ‘Summer Sun Sunflower’ may be slow to
appear in the spring, but the blooms persist long
after other perennials have completed their show.
