Although false sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides), also known as common ox-eye, looks like a true sunflower at first glance, it can produce seed from both its ray and disk florets, and thus is categorized in a different genus. This robust perennial of open fields and wood edges is a truly beautiful summer wildflower, tall and rangy and overflowing with the most gorgeous gold-yellow flowers.  As with the true sunflowers, false sunflower attracts pollinators in droves and is the perfect summer bloomer for a large, sunny to partly-sunny space in a native wildflower garden.
