Excellent condition upon arrival, and I planted it in the rain the very same day! The packaging was perfect, and I'm eagerly awaiting the 2026 flowering.

Description
Heliopsis helianthoides 'Burning Hearts' is an excellent new variety, which warms up dull autumn days with its semi-double yellow suns with an incandescent orange-red heart. The bright flowers stand tall on strong and rigid stems, above a purple-green foliage that is particularly decorative. This beautiful perennial is both similar in appearance and closely related to the famous sunflower, Helianthus. It is an undemanding plant, suitable for well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade. Its great vigour and simplicity make it ideal for the back of borders and wildflower compositions.
Heliopsis 'Burning Hearts' belongs to the Asteraceae family. Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra, from which it originates, is native to North America, where it is usually found in open woodlands and tall grass prairies, less commonly along roadsides.
The cultivar 'Burning Hearts' is a non-invasive woody perennial. It forms a bushy clump, composed of numerous sturdy stems that can reach 120cm (47in) in height when in bloom and spread 60cm (24in) wide. Its growth rate is moderate to fast. The flowering period occurs from June to September-October. The inflorescence appears at the end of branched stems and consists of several heads (capitules), which themselves are composed of semi-double, ligulate flowers in yellow to orange-red (these are the 'petals') and brownish florets forming the disc. The deciduous foliage is distributed along the entire length of the stems, it is dark green-purple, rough, and the leaves are lanceolate, dentate, and somewhat cordate.
Trends in gardening can be quite puzzling as the upright habit, long flowering period, and low maintenance requirements of these perennials should make them suitable for all gardens... but no! Nevertheless, all experts agree that they are excellent perennial plants. 25 years ago, Alan Bloom, a renowned perennial plant breeder in England, said: "They are certainly the last plants I would part with if I decided to eliminate yellow from the borders in my garden." Associate Heliopsis 'Burning Hearts' with other tall, easy-going perennials such as hybrid Verbascums, Buenos Aires verbena, tansies, Heleniums, Physalis franchetii... It is a great plant for quickly filling the back of a border.

Planting and care
Heliopsis are easy-to-grow plants. They adapt to any well-drained soil and only fear excessive winter moisture and excessively dry soil in summer. However, they tolerate clay, poor, and occasionally dry soils. Heliopsis helianthoides 'Burning Hearts' prefers a sunny exposure, but it tolerates partial shade, which will give it a slightly looser habit and will require light staking. It should be protected from strong winds. It is best to deadhead the flowers to encourage reblooming. The plant can be divided every 2 to 3 years to maintain its vigour. You can also cut the plant back by half in early June to promote the strength of the clump. Note that some varieties of Heliopsis are susceptible to powdery mildew and rust when the growing conditions are not optimal.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
