Another dazzling perennial, Heliopsis Roots Burning Hearts features bright golden-yellow daisy-like blooms with striking red-orange centers that absolutely glow against deep burgundy-purple stems and dark foliage. This North American native is a workhorse, flowering continuously from early summer to frost. Deadhead early in the blooming season to encourage more blooms in August and September. Then, leave flower heads intact as winter birds will love picking over the seed heads for needed nutrition.
