Heliopsis helianthoides ‘Midwest Dreams’
False Sunflower |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.255.180
False Sunflowers are reliable for their very long season of bloom. They form a tall, bushy mound of dark green leaves, bearing branching heads of large deep yellow or orange daisy flowers. This strain is more compact than most others, and a little less prone to wind damage and usually does not need to be staked. Outstanding cut flowers. Removing faded flowers regularly will greatly extend the blooming season. Easily divided in early spring. A selection of one of our native wildflowers. Attractive to butterflies.
