"All 3 plants will attract pollinators. Despite cold nights and clay soil they are putting on new growth."
"This plant is healthy. When it was planted lost all the leaves. It quickly reproduced new leaves and looks great. I'm looking forward to seeing flowers for this plant."
"Description includes clay soil in acceptable soil types, but planting instructions now say avoid clay soil. Mine was planted in clay soil in 2017. This plant in not at all drought tolerant. Requires good soaking every other day or the whole plant wilts and flowers die. It is deer resistant, but if I had known it would need so much water, i would have put it someplace easier to water."
"The plants were not initially impressive and I did not pamper them when received- they baked on the deck for a week in the July heat. That first summer they were a snooze, but came back with a flourish this spring- I had to rummage around in the bed to find the tag because I didn't even remember planting them, but they are absolutely gorgeous now- the dark foliage and stems really set them apart from other cultivars of Helianthus I have grown."
"Bought 2 of these last Spring and planted in 2 separate planters. They took a little time getting going but once they did get going they did well. Had no flopping problem with either of them. Unique purple stems with yellow/red flowers. Had many flowers blooming the first Summer/Fall after planting in Spring. Live in Western WA close to Puget Sound water."
"I planted 10 seeds on the late side - June 7 here in Central Missouri this past summer. I was able to get 8 mature plants rather fast and all had lots of flowers. They lived mostly up to expectations. Each plant varied a bit in its appearance, so not a very uniform appearance, which didn't bother me but might for some people. Lovely bicolor blooms that are similar to some of the better Black Eyed Susan cultivars. A nice reddish mahogany center that lasted well into maturity of the flowers. Nice very dark purple stems, leaves that are dark green with a hint of purple with purple veins. I took away one star in that all the plants flopped to the ground, I was hoping for stiffer stems. All were under two feet this first season, but should be taller next year and perhaps have stiffer stems. Probably dead heading the flowers once they start loosing their bicolor characteristic would be a good idea and improve the overall look and maybe promote even heavier flowering. Overall a very nice unique Heliopsis and I recommend it to others to try in that it is easy to grow (in near or full sun)."
Burning Hearts False Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides v. scrabra Burning Hearts) is an outstanding new native plant cultivar with large yellow and red daisy-like flowers in mid-to-late summer. Developed by European breeders, this large growing perennial is recommended for attracting butterflies and other pollinators to its numerous nectar-rich flowers. Extremely cold hardy, it's an excellent choice for northern gardeners all the way to the Canadian border. Resistant to browsing rabbits and deer, this plant is a 'must have' easy-to-grow new variety.
