Golden-yellow petals surround reddish-orange centers on the flowers of Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra Burning Hearts. Dark purple foliage accompanies the flowers in summer and fall. The blooms attract bees and butterflies and are suitable for cutting.
Plant this upright, clump-forming perennial in flower borders or massed swathes. Full sun is best; some shade is tolerated, but stems may weaken and flop. Moist, well-drained soil suits it, and removing spent flowers extends blooming.
