False sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides) Perennial. Zones 2-9. This very hardy native plant grows to about 4' and can form massive clumps which should be divided every 3-5 years. It starts blooming in early summer and continues straight through until fall. If it is kept dead headed, it greatly promotes lenghthy bloom time. The flowers are attractive to butterflies and it makes a great cut flower. It is tolerant of many soil types, likes regular water, and does best in full sun. Germination is relatively easy and I will provide instructions with the seeds.
