Summer Sun False Sunflower
Heliopsis helianthoides 'Summer Sun'
Bright, cheerful, and endlessly reliable, Summer Sun False Sunflower brings classic golden color and long-lasting blooms to the summer garden. Its daisy-like flowers in rich, sunny yellow with prominent golden centers bloom continuously from early summer into fall, creating a bold and uplifting display that’s perfect for borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator plantings.
This upright, bushy perennial features strong, branching stems and dark green foliage that stays attractive throughout the season. A long bloomer and excellent cut flower, ‘Summer Sun’ is as functional as it is beautiful—attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators while standing up well to heat and drought once established.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, returning year after year with minimal care. Whether planted in masses or used as a bright accent, Summer Sun adds dependable color and sunny charm to any landscape.
