Plant Description
Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra 'Burning Hearts' is a cultivated variety similar to our wild sunflower. Sometimes called "False Sunflower", this plant features dark purple leaves and stems and attracts birds and butterflies. If can grow up to 4 feet tall and have a foot and a half spread.
Versatile, easy to grow, and trouble free, smooth oxeye is a prolific bloomer with a flowering period that can last up to 3 months, from early to late summer. It is not particular about soil type, and is tolerant of dry conditions. 'Burning Hearts' performs best in full-sun, but will tolerate some shade although this will lead to weak stems with a tendency to flop. Removing spent flowers will extend the blooming period. The root system is fibrous, forming dense clumps over time.
