Bring bold summer color to your garden with Heliopsis helianthoides 'Forged In Fire'. You will get a sturdy, upright perennial that blooms generously with semi-double, golden-yellow, daisy-like flowers highlighted by rich burgundy-to-orange eyes.
Plant it where it receives full sun for the most flowers, but it will also grow well with some afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates. Expect a neat clump that reaches about 32-36 inches tall and fills out to roughly 32-36 inches wide as it matures.
This plant is adaptable and easy to grow. You will have the best results in well-drained soil, but it can handle average garden conditions and short dry spells once established. Regular watering during the first season helps it settle in and build a strong root system.
Use it to brighten mixed borders, cottage gardens, and cutting beds. You can pair it with ornamental grasses and other sun-loving perennials for a long season of color. Leave some spent blooms to develop seedheads, or deadhead for a tidier look and continued flowering.
