A beautiful carefree perennial. 'Ballerina' puts on a show of semi-double, 2-3 inch wide, golden yellow flowers all summer long. The flowers are shaped like a ballerina's tutu and this is, perhaps, how it got its name. They make great cut flowers due to their strong stems.
Heliopsis is an excellent tall perennial for the back of the flower border. It has a bushy, well-branched form and glossy, deep green, triangular leaves. It's a real workhorse in the garden!

Heliopsis can be grown in either full sun or part shade, but it performs much better in full sun. Soil of average fertility is preferable. When grown in moist, rich soil, it tends to need staking. Growth will be strongest in soil with average fertility and moisture.
Deadheading spent flower heads will extend the flowering time and prevent self-seeding. Divide every 2-3 years in spring or fall to maintain vigor.
