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 sping - 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. Seed raised plants are very variable.

Heliopsis Sommersonne

 
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.
