Heliopsis helinahthoides var. scabra 'Bleeding Hearts' - Ox-eye Sunflower from Quackin Grass Nursery

Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra 'Bleedng Hearts' - A deep red to red-orange flower with no golden yellow upon the daisy 'Bleeding Hearts' is a tough, eye catching perennial that flowers long - July to possibly frost. Foliage is dark green. Dark purple stems support the burnished flowers, each with a central yellow disc that expands and rises metamorphosing into an orange to red-orange globe as the flower ages. And as the flowers age the red-orange petals lighten becoming increasingly orange to golden orange. 'Bleeding Hearts' will attract birds and butterflies... expect a few other pollinators as well. It will attract you, too. This fine addition to the perennial gardener's palette should not be confused with 'Burning Hearts' which is a cultivar with a burnished red ring cloistering the central disc with all outer petal petals typical golden yellow. Average to fertile draining ground in full sun. Established potted Ox-Eye Sunflower from cutting.
