‘Bit of Honey’ False Sunflower (Heliopsis)

Description

(False Sunflower) Heliopsis ‘Bit of Honey’ features white foliage with deep green veining giving this Heliopsis interest all season long. Standing 24 to 28 inches tall and 30 inches wide, the dense habit is perfect for the middle of the garden. ‘Bit of Honey’ blooms midsummer until early fall with 3-3 ½ inch golden-yellow blooms with multiple rows of petals creating a nice full flower. Hardy in zones 4-9, Heliopsis like to be grown in full sun to part sun locations and prefers well-drained soil. This drought-tolerant perennial may be a bit later to emerge in the spring, waiting for the heat to emerge. Plant as a specimen, create a border, or plant in a container for summer enjoyment. The attractive foliage and flowers are a nice selection for cuttings to create a decorative table arrangement. This American native perennial is easy to grow once established and blooms for the better half of the summer. Heliopsis ‘Bit of Honey’ is a member of the Proven Winners® Perennial Collection.
