Heliopsis helianthoides v. scabra 'Burning Hearts' - OX EYE 'BURNING HEARTS'
A Jelitto seed selection, Heliopsis 'Burning Hearts' is a clump forming perennial and a true show-stopper. Large (2-3"), golden-yellow flowers with dark orange eyes appear from late summer through early fall. The coarse, deep purple foliage forms upright, bushy clumps.
Very adaptable perennial. Heat, humidity, drought and deer tolerant plant. Great cut flower.
Excellent border plant, looks good as a single plant in smaller flower beds or in masses in bigger border. Due to its adaptability, it can be combined with typical border or more natural perennials like Asclepias tuberosa, Agastache, Chrysanthemum, Echinacea, Echinops, Eupatorium, Geranium 'Rozanne', Helenium, Liatris, Lupinus, Monarda, Penstemon digitalis, Perovskia, Phlox, Rudbeckia, Salvia nemorosa, Sedum telephium (Sedum x hybridum), Veronicastrum, Vernonia, etc.
It's a very good companion to the most popular perennials in the USA - bearded Iris, Siberian iris and daylilies (Hemerocallis); it will also look good with taller or tall grasses like Andropogon gerardii, Panicum virgatum (switch grass), Schizachyrium scoparium, Sporobolus heterolepis, Pennisetum, or summer flowering shrubs like Hydrangea paniculata.
