This seed line cultivar offers sturdy, mostly red stems, reddish leaves, and showy golden yellow flowers with a deep orange-red central disk. It forms nice upright clumps that provide support for lots of wildlife – butterflies, monarchs, bees, seeds for small birds. An easy to grow and soil and moisture adaptable perennial.
All false sunflowers are hardy, tough perennials; once established they are drought tolerant although they prefer medium to medium moist soil. These bloom for a very long time, flowering from the end of June 'til September! They also make excellent cut flowers (2 weeks in a vase).
Heliopsis ‘Summer Nights’ is suitable for both private and public gardens, pollinator gardens, low maintenance plantings, rain gardens, bird gardens, sunnier woodland edges, meadows, etc. It will look good with native perennials or nativars of Agastache, Amsonia, Asters, Baptisia, Heuchera, Phlox paniculata (or other tall phloxes), Physostegia, Tradescantia, and Veronicastrum, as well as non-native perennials like Nepeta, Salvia nemorosa, Geranium ‘Rozanne’ and later bred, long flowering hardy Geraniums, Hemerocallis, Irises, Paeonia, Sedum telephium etc. Excellent in combination with spires of blue flowers like Agastache, Salvia nemorosa, Veronica, Veronicastrum – these are very effective textural and contrast color combinations.
