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.

Heliopsis can be grown in either full sun or part shade, but it performs much better in full sun. Soil of average fertility is preferable. When grown in moist, rich soil, it tends to need staking. Growth will be strongest in soil with average fertility and moisture.
Deadheading spent flower heads will extend the flowering time and prevent self-seeding.
