Heliopsis False Sunflower Athena Gold

Orange Marble False Sunflower is a striking perennial that combines bold, warm orange blooms with uniquely marbled foliage for season-long interest in sunny gardens. Rich chocolate brown buds open to warm orange flowers tipped with yellow-orange, creating a vibrant display from midsummer into fall. The foliage is equally eye-catching, with creamy green leaves veined and streaked with darker green and subtle pink tones, delivering ornamental appeal even before flowering. Hardy to USDA Zone 4 and drought tolerant once established, Orange Marble attracts bees and butterflies and works beautifully in borders, pollinator gardens, and mixed perennial beds.
