False Sunflower
Heliopsis helianthoides
'Ballerina'
(hee-lee-OP-sis) (hee-lee-an-THOY-dees)
Synonyms: Rough Heliopsis,
Orange Sunflower
This seems to be a really
nice cultivar of False Sunflower. We haven’t tried growing it but I love having
the regular species in the garden. It is one of the last perennials to have a
really solid bloom this time of the year. Our patch of Heliopsis has begun to
spread but hasn’t warranted control yet. The plants have a nice way of growing
around and through things without being annoying.
I know its Monday but I
wanted to add a nice flower as a thank you to all the people that have been
following and commenting on this blog. You can see it is a beautiful fancy
Dahlia that could have easily earned a post of its own.
