Resistant to browsing rabbits and deer, this plant is a 'must have' easy-to-grow new variety.

Planting & Care

Tips On Growing Heliopsis  (False Sunflower or Ox Eye)
Heliopsis  (False Sunflower or Ox Eye) is a North American wildflower known for its showy flowers and rugged constitution.
Preferred growing conditions:

  • Grow in infertile (lean) soil types but avoid clay.
  •  Place in full sun exposure.
  • Water transplants regularly for best garden performance. It can tolerate dry conditions but will not bloom well.
  • Deadheading will prolong blooming, but allow the plants to set seed later in the season to feed song birds.
  • Fertilize lightly in the fall with a half and half mix of Yum Yum Mix and good quality compost applied as a topdressing around the plant.

Special Comments:

  • Pinching the tips of the stems in late spring/early summer will make the plants more compact and produce more flowers later in the summer when it blooms.
  • Leave the plants standing over winter, as the seeds are readily eaten by songbirds.
  • Too much water and rich soil will cause the plants to become lanky and flop over.
