How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
‘Summer Sun’ Heliopsis, also called False Sunflower, is a selection of native Heliopsis found in the central and south-central United States and southern Canada. ‘Summer Sun’ is more compact than the species, maturing at 2-3 feet tall, and with its sturdy upright habit, there is no staking required. The variety is known for its heat tolerance, making it an excellent selection for southern gardens. Heliopsis is quite drought-tolerant and adaptable to clay or rocky soils. Ideal growing conditions include dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Plants can tolerate light shade, but may become lanky and require support. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to extend the blooming season, or leave spent flowers standing to provide seeds for songbirds.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge.
