Tuscan Gold False Sunflower

Tuscan Gold™ is the compact Heliopsis selection ‘Inhelsodor’, with dark green foliage and sunny yellow daisy-like flowers. It grows about 24–32 inches tall and 20–24 inches wide, blooming from summer into fall, and fits the middle of a border or a cut-flower planting. ## Planting and landscape use Plant in full sun or part sun and leave about 20–24 inches between plants. Its tidy, branched habit works in grouped plantings, containers and focal positions where the late-season color can be seen. The flowers attract bees and butterflies, and the cultivar is described as heat tolerant. ## Seasonal interest The long summer-to-fall flowering period extends color after many early perennials finish. The compact size keeps it useful in smaller gardens while still producing stems for cutting. [Proven Winners’ cultivar profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/heliopsis/tuscan-gold-false-sunflower-heliopsis-helianthoides) gives the selection’s dimensions, exposure, bloom period and uses; the [US plant patent](https://patents.justia.com/patent/PP29819) identifies ‘Inhelsodor’ and its grant date. ## Maintenance Remove spent flowers if you want to encourage additional bloom; deadheading is optional for a long display. A light winter mulch can help limit soil heaving in regions with freeze-thaw cycles.
