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.
