Tuscan Gold™ Heliopsis Plant

Heliopsis helianthoides 'Tuscan Gold' is a radiant perennial, showcasing sunny golden yellow flowers adorned with golden centers and matching eyes. This variety stands out with its compact, upright habit and dark green leaves that are resistant to powdery mildew. Not only is it perfect for sun gardens due to its vibrant blooms and strong stems that withstand adverse weather, but its disease-resistant nature ensures it thrives consistently. As a bonus, pollinators are drawn to its beauty in the garden, while its blooms serve as stunning additions to bouquets when used as cut flowers. Tuscan Gold is shipped as a bare root, a method we favor for its ability to establish quickly, double in size compared to its potted counterparts within the first season, and omit the necessity for plastic pots—providing an eco-friendly advantage.

Common Names: perennial sunflower, early sunflower, sweet smooth oxeye, false sunflower, eastern sunflower-everlasting, eastern ox-eye

Heliopsis Plant Care Instructions: Besides applying water if the foliage starts looking droopy, little to no care is needed once the plant is established. If you wish to attract wild birds, leave the spent flowers as they are until early spring, then cut back the dried foliage to the ground. However, if attracting birds isn't your preference, after the first hard frost causes the plant's foliage to die back, you can trim the stems down to about 2-4 inches above the ground.
