About False Sunflower
False sunflower, or Heliopsis, produces cheerful golden daisy blooms on tall, branching stems. It offers the warmth of a sunflower with a finer, more airy habit that suits mixed bouquets.
It is a North American native perennial whose name means resembling the sun, a nod to its bright flowers, as explained on its Wikipedia page.
Its long stems, strong vase life, and prolific blooming make false sunflower a dependable golden note for summer and early fall arrangements.
