Venus False Sunflower
(Heliopsis helianthoides 'Venus')
Bring bright, cheerful energy to your garden with the radiant Venus False Sunflower, a standout perennial that delivers long-lasting blooms and exceptional garden performance. Unlike traditional sunflowers, this compact Heliopsis variety produces an abundance of semi-double, creamy yellow flowers with a soft, almost pastel tone that gently fades to white as they mature—giving your garden a graceful, luminous appearance from mid-summer to early fall.
This floriferous plant is not only beautiful but also tough and reliable. With sturdy, upright stems that do not require staking, ‘Venus’ holds up well in summer heat and humidity. It’s a favorite for pollinators like bees and butterflies, and the long bloom period makes it an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements.
Venus False Sunflower adds soft, sunny color and lasting performance to perennial beds, cottage gardens, and sunny borders. Its refined blooms and compact habit make it a perfect choice for both formal and wildflower-inspired landscapes.
