'Forged in Fire' False Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides) | Proven Winners® New Variety 2027
'Forged in Fire' False Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides) | Proven Winners® New Variety 2027
Turn up the heat in the garden with ‘Forged in Fire’, a mid-size false sunflower with smoldering color and a full, sturdy presence. Its semi-double blooms flare open with a dramatic burgundy eye that softens to burnt orange as they age. The added petals keep the display going longer, yet still leave the center open for pollinators. Clean, dark green foliage resists mildew beautifully, and the plant’s height provides lasting structure and energy in sunny borders.
- 32-36 inches tall and wide at maturity
- Hardy in zones 3-9, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
- Plant in part to full sun (4+ hours daily)
- Space plants 32-36 inches apart for best results
- Produces semi-double golden yellow flowers with burnt orange eyes during mid to late summer
- Maintains green foliage spring to fall
- Great for borders, cut flowers, mass plantings, focal points
- Attracts bees, butterflies and resists disease
- Native to North America, drought tolerant
- Perennials shipped Nov-Apr will arrive dormant; perennials shipped Apr-Oct will arrive green or in bloom
Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring. Deadheading spent flower heads will extend the flowering time and prevent self-seeding.
