Heliopsis helianthoides (Early Sunflower) Seed
Description
Heliopsis helianthoides is a robust, long-blooming perennial native to North America. It grows 3–6 feet tall and features golden-yellow flowers resembling sunflowers from early summer to fall. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils but is adaptable to a range of conditions, including drought and clay soils.
Early sunflower is popular for its ability to attract pollinators, including bees and butterflies, and for providing seeds for birds. Its reliability and low maintenance make it a favorite for native plantings, prairies, and pollinator gardens. It also serves as an excellent choice for large-scale ecological restorations, where its deep roots improve soil structure and support biodiversity.
