Bleeding Hearts False Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra ‘Bleeding Hearts’)

Bleeding Hearts False Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra ‘Bleeding Hearts’) is a hardy, sun-loving perennial known for its bright yellow daisy-like flowers with reddish centres. Blooming from mid-summer into fall, this variety provides long-lasting colour and strong visual impact in borders and pollinator gardens.

The upright growth habit and sturdy stems make it ideal for back-of-border planting, where it adds height and structure. Its extended bloom period makes it a valuable addition to late-season landscapes, bridging the gap between summer and fall colour.

This heliopsis thrives in Alberta’s full sun conditions and is highly tolerant of heat, drought, and a wide range of soil types once established. It is especially beneficial for pollinator gardens, attracting bees and butterflies throughout the growing season.
