Pairing purple-tinged foliage with bi-color blooms, ‘Burning Hearts’ Heliopsis provides major impact and long-lasting color in the garden. Blooming from mid-summer through early fall, golden yellow flowers have a fiery red-orange center atop contrasting purple stems, making a unique cut flower. Bees and butterflies frequent the flowers, while songbirds feast on seeds. Tolerant to heat and humidity, ‘Burning Hearts’ is an excellent native cultivar for hot climates. (Heliosis helianthoides)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Standing up to four feet tall, ‘Burning Hearts’ Heliopsis makes a powerful statement in the garden or meadow. Heliopsis helianthoides is native to eastern and central North America, and the ‘Burning Hearts’ cultivar was selected for its unique foliage color and vibrant blooms that reach 2-3 inches in diameter. This plant thrives in dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun, but tolerates clay soils and light shade. Though drought-tolerant, plants perform better if watered regularly. Tolerant to heat and humidity, Heliopsis is a great choice for southern gardens. Plant at the back of mixed borders, in naturalized meadow style planting, pollinator gardens, or in large containers. Plants can be cut back by one-half in late spring, before flowering, to control height. Deadheading spent flowers will extend the blooming season, or leave spent flowers standing to provide seeds for songbirds.
