PRODUCT DETAILS

Ox-Eye Sunflower or the False Sunflower (Heliopsis Scabra Summer Sun) is native from North America.

Heliopsis flowers are 3 inches in size and have long stems which make them good for cutting to display in a vase.

The Ox-Eye Sunflower plant may require staking, especially when grown in very rich garden soil.

Heliopsis Scabra plants should be divided in early spring every 4 - 5 years.

Heliopsis Helianthoides flowers are attractive to pollinators.

False Sunflower Heliopsis will do well even on heavy clay soil where other flowers do not grow properly.
