Heliopsis is a representative of the family of annual and perennial herbs. In nature, you can find some of them in North and Central America. The name of the Heliopsis plant translates as “sun-like”, this is due to the fact that the shape of the inflorescence is very similar to the actual sun. This plant has more than 10 species.
General characteristics
Heliopsis is grown by gardeners both through seedlings and by sowing seeds directly in open ground. You can sow seeds in mid-spring or late autumn, while the time for planting seedlings is a little later.Before growing this flower, you need to take care of the soil and prepare it for the process..
A flower grown in open ground should be cared for in the same way as all plants. To do this, it is necessary to water and remove weeds in time, and carry out formative pruning.Such a crop cannot be grown for several years in the same place, you must divide it into parts and move it to separate places.
Irrigation
Such a flower is distinguished by its resistance to drought, and it does not need to be watered often. It tolerates the sun well and is able to maintain its fresh appearance in a long dry climate. However, this does not mean that if heliopsis is left without water for a long time, it will always bloom, if you are wrong, then its flowering period will be very short.
In this regard, during a long drought, you can water the bushes regularly (2 to 3 times in 7 days), you can do it in the evening or early morning. For irrigation, water well warmed in the sun is needed. After this procedure, the surface of the soil is gently weakened.
