An intrepid color-rich perennial, this Heliopsis hosts purple-infused new growth plus eggplant-hued stems beneath a long-lasting sunburst of yellow flowers enhanced by mocha-colored centers and maroon splashes at each petal’s base. Alluring ovate dark green leaves with serrated margins garb the stiff upright stems that seldom need staking. Popular among birds, butterflies and flower arrangers, ‘Prairie Sunset’s handsome clumping profile can grace sunny perennial borders, native plantings and prairie-style gardens. It looks best en masse, fends off most diseases and abates erosion, while tolerating urban pollution, shallow, rocky or clay soil, as well as moist and dry sites.(PP# 13,779)
