Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra 'Prairie Sunset'
Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra 'Prairie Sunset' is a striking upright perennial that brings vibrant colour and pollinator activity to the garden from summer through to autumn. Golden-yellow daisy-like flowers with warm orange-red centres are held above attractive purple-veined foliage on dark purple stems, creating a dramatic and long-lasting display.

The cheerful blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinating insects, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
Easy to grow and exceptionally hardy, 'Prairie Sunset' thrives in a wide range of soil types provided they are moist but well-drained. Its strong stems and prolonged flowering period make it an excellent choice for mixed borders, cottage gardens and cut flower arrangements.
