False Sunflower 'Summer Eclipse' 2 Gallon

Heliopsis helianthoides

False Sunflowers ooze cheerfulness with a long season of showy, deep golden yellow daisies atop sturdy, green to burgundy stems and attractive green to red-tinged to purple foliage. They make for excellent cut flowers and butterfly attractants. 'Summer Eclipse' offers large, bicolor bronze-orange to sunny golden flowers on top of compact, dark burgundy-green foliage summer through early fall. Plant in well-drained, moderate to nutrient rich soil amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Use Plant-tone and Iron-tone in spring or at planting; apply Osmocote in summer. Remove spent flower stems down to lateral buds for reblooming. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Divide in spring or fall when necessary. Pairs well with Gaillardia, Salvia, Aster, Tickseed, Liatris, and Sedum.
