False Sunflower Oxeye
Heliopsis helianthoides
Oxeye False Sunflower is a showy perennial native to Ontario. In summer, it produces clumps of bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators. Easy to grow and long-blooming, it adds vibrant colour to the garden while providing a valuable food source for wildlife. It is a short-lived perennial, but will reseed itself if spent blooms are left on.
False Sunflowers grow best in full sun with average, well-drained soil. They are highly adaptable and can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, including clay, low-nutrient soils, and drier conditions. Once established, they are also drought-tolerant.
Seasonal Availability: Typically May to August, depending on suppliers availability.
