Flashing a brilliant late season cornucopia of deep golden yellow daisies with mahogany-colored discs, this North American Helianthus relative sprouts slender red-infused branching stalks and opposite hairy leaves enriched by bronzy wine shades. A colorful North Creek Nursery selection, ‘Summer Nights’s tall sturdy stems yield marvelous long-lasting flowers that tantalize florists, songbirds and butterflies, yet easily fend off pests and occasional drought. False Sunflower’s versatile, dependable and no-fuss persona is well-suited for the middle of the border, a shrubby planting or even a less formal venue. It seldom needs staking, appreciates well-drained, somewhat moist fertile sites, and regular deadheading.
