Heliopsis helianthoides 'Prairy Sunset' - 2026

Heliopsis helianthoides 'Prairie Sunset' is a clump-forming perennial that produces golden-yellow flowers with orange-red centres from June to October. These blooms are borne on sturdy, upright stems above lance-shaped green foliage with purple veins, creating a striking display in the garden. The plant's fine-textured appearance makes it an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, and as a filler in floral arrangements. Its compact size and extended flowering period provide both structure and seasonal colour.

Preferring full sun and moist, well-drained soils, 'Prairie Sunset' is hardy in a variety of climates and can tolerate dry conditions once established. Regular watering during dry spells and occasional division every few years will help maintain its vigour. Its resilience and low-maintenance nature make it a reliable and attractive addition to any garden, offering long-lasting colour and ecological benefits for pollinators.
