'Touch of Blush' False Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides)

Named for the soft pink tones that emerge on its new foliage, 'Touch of Blush' brings subtle elegance and fresh interest to the garden. This gentle blush beautifully highlights the crisp white variegation against its deep green leaves, creating a striking contrast that stands out without overwhelming.

Its bright, semi-double yellow flowers feature multiple layers of overlapping petals, adding rich texture and vibrant color from midsummer into fall. True to its Heliopsis heritage, 'Touch of Blush' is a dependable, upright perennial with a bushy, well-branched habit and glossy, triangular foliage—ideal for the middle or back of borders where consistent structure is key.

Whether used in combination containers, as long-lasting cut flowers, or as a pollinator magnet in a butterfly-friendly garden, 'Touch of Blush' delivers both performance and beauty. A refined twist on a classic favorite, it’s a plant that brings lasting value and charm to any sunny space.
