description for "Perennials: Heliopsis helianthoides 'Summer Sun'"
Oxeye 'Summer Sun' is a native. There are many sunflower-type plants, and this is one of the best for the flower garden. They bloom for an awfully long period, all the while maintaining a bushy (not floppy) habit. The flowers are very showy and the seed heads are attractive. The leaves are deep green, and pointed. They like good soil, but one that is not overly fertile. 'Summer Sun' has bright gold semi-double blooms.
