Heliopsis False Sunflower Sunstruck
Sunstruck False Sunflower is a standout perennial prized for its striking variegated foliage and bright, cheerful blooms. Even before flowering, the compact mounds of creamy white leaves with bold green veining add eye-catching contrast to borders and containers. From spring into early summer, sunny yellow daisy-like flowers with golden centers rise above the foliage, attracting butterflies and making excellent cut flowers. Hardy down to USDA Zone 4 and returning reliably each year, this low-maintenance perennial thrives in full sun to partial shade and is perfect for smaller gardens, edging, and mixed perennial plantings.
