Heliopsis helianthoides

Early Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides) is a hardy perennial native to North America, known for its bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that bloom throughout the summer. It typically grows 3 to 5 feet tall and spreads easily, making it a great choice for naturalized gardens and prairie plantings. Early Sunflower thrives in full sun to partial shade and is adaptable to a range of soil types, preferring medium to medium-dry soils but tolerating occasional wetness. This plant is drought-tolerant once established and requires only moderate watering. Its undemanding nature and long bloom period make it attractive to pollinators and easy to maintain in a variety of garden settings.
