>Summer sun – #161

>Heliopsis helianthoides or false sunflower.

We stumbled upon this chappy in Vermont in 1995, staying at Beaver Pond Farm Inn in Warren, VT when it was still run by Bob and Betty.

This is one of those plants that drifts in and out of fashion – we’d never seen it over here, so we brought a plant back and it’s thrived ever since.

A couple of years later, it was in every garden centre you could imagine.

And it’s great!
