Heliopsis has gotten a reputation as a great blooming plant that is far too big and wild to be controlled in the landscape. While that criticism is a bit overstated, Proven Winners® has come up with a Heliopsis that combines the outstanding bloom of the species with perfect, garden friendly form making this a can’t miss landscape winner.

‘Tuscan Sun’ tops out at half the height of other Heliopsis as its compact, spreading form covers itself in bright yellow, daisy flowers from late June right on into September. It’s an amazing show of color that you’ll relish in your garden as much as the local butterflies will and it is an extremely easy plant to make thrive needing only a sunny area with well-drained soil to be happy. Plant it in groups and watch your summer garden come alive with color!
