FORGED IN FIRE FALSE SUNFLOWER

Proven Winners® Heliopsis helianthoides 'Forged in Fire' is an exceptional perennial cultivar prized for its mildew resistance, intense color, robust habit, and extended flowering window. Rising on sturdy, dark purplish-green stems, it features deep green foliage that sets a dramatic stage for its mid-to-late semi-double flower heads that emerge with orange-red centers that soften to deep amber and molten yellow toward the ray tips, resembling glowing embers. Highly attractive to native pollinators, butterflies, and bees, 'Forged in Fire' provides reliable late-season color to naturalized borders, prairie-style plantings, and cut-flower gardens alike.

'Forged in Fire' is an outstanding low-maintenance performer. It thrives best in full sun - requiring at least 6 hours of direct light daily. Plant in well-drained soil ranging from average loam to lean, clay-rocky soils; excessively rich or heavily fertilized ground should be avoided, as it encourages leggy growth that may require staking.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help Heliopsis Athena Gold™ settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Water regularly but avoid overwatering. Provide full sun to partial shade. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. For the best appearance, deadheading spent blooms will encourage a continuous flush of flowers, and the stems can be cut back to the ground in late winter or early spring to make way for new growth.
