Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Heliopsis helianthoides 'Sunstruck' is a variegated false sunflower with classic, long lasting, two inch wide, deep yellow daisies in summer but, in this case, held atop beautiful variegated foliage that is creamy white with dark green veins. 'Sunstruck' blooms earlier than other cultivars starting in the late spring and, with a little deadheading, can continue its bloom into the autumn.
