Common Name: False Sunflower, Sunflower Heliopsis

One of the more popular perennials in the Proven Winners® program has been Heliopsis 'Tuscan Sun', and now there is a companion to go with it. Sunny yellow flowers have golden centers and matching eyes. The flowers of TUSCAN GOLD™ are a little more yellow and larger than the flowers than 'Tuscan Sun'. This exciting new selection boasts a compact, upright habit with dark green leaves that resist powdery mildew. A perfect flower for bouquets.

Heliopsis have traditionally been an excellent tall perennial for the middle or back of the flower border. It has a bushy, well-branched form and glossy, deep green, triangular leaves – a real workhorse in the garden! Use this plant in combination containers, as a cut flower, or to attract butterflies to your garden.

Maintenance Notes: 

Removing spent blooms may help encourage additional blooming

Winter mulch can reduce heaving that can occur with perennials from the freeze/thaw cycles of winter

Tuscan Gold is heat tolerant and will tolerate somewhat dry soils. While deadheading may encourage additional blooming it isn't strictly necessary for a long bloom season. The breakthrough here is an easy flowering Heliopsis with a shorter plant size, outstanding garden performance and disease resistance. A long known great garden plant with good manners and a long flowering season, also makes a great cut flower

An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.
