Heliopsis:

Easy to grow plants with daisy flowers throughout summer. They are mostly mid tall at around 3ft - 3ft 6in / 90 -105cm but best kept bushy by pinching out shoots in spring - or do the Chelsea Chop in late May. If this is done they require little staking except in the most windy sites. 

Cut down to ground level in autumn. 

Propagate by seed or division although seed raised plants may be variable.

 

Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra Sommersonne

Mid yellow, double or semi double flowers with greenish centres. Reaches about 3ft 6in / 105cm tall. Flowers from late July onwards.

Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra Summer Nights

Dark red or brown stems and leaves are the first attraction of this plant. The burnt yellow, semi double flowers with tan or brown centres add to the exotic feel. 

It is one of the most asked about plants in our garden - visitors are even more attracted when we tell them its a completely hardy perennial. 

Reaches about 3ft 6in / 105cm tall unless pinched out. Flowers from late July onwards.  

There is a variety called "Prairie Nights" which to us looks pretty similar to Summer Nights.
