Growing Tips for Heliopsis helianthoides 'ATHENA GOLD®'
Heliopsis performs best in full sun, though it can tolerate part shade. Plant in average, moderately moist soil, as overly rich or wet conditions can lead to weaker growth and the need for staking. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage a longer flowering period and prevent unwanted self-seeding.
