History and Companion Plants

As the common name implies, plants in this genus closely resemble the popular Sunflower. In fact another common name is "False Sunflower". However plants of Heliopsis are much smaller in habit and flower earlier than their larger and later cousin. This makes them more suited for planting in perennial gardens. The flower size and golden color of ‘Bressingham Doubloon’ must have excited Blooms’ hybridizers to the same extent as Spanish explorers finding a secret stash of gold coins.

Good perennial partners include Garden Phlox (try Phlox ‘Eva Cullum’ or ‘Franz Schubert’), Liatris, Purple Coneflower (Echinacea), Garden Mums (use Yoder Prophets® series), Asters (try Aster Flora’s Delight’), Shasta Daisy (try Leucanthemum ‘Snowcap’ or ‘Summer Snowball’) and Spike Speedwell (Veronica).
