watering

Oxeye Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides 'Inhelsodor' TUSCAN GOLD) is a plant species that prefers well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine. Water the plant regularly, but not too much. During the summer months (June, July, August) when the temperatures are hot, water the plant about twice a week. When there is little rainfall, add enough water so that the deep roots are saturated. During the winter months, water the plant about once every 2 weeks. The soil should be allowed to dry completely between waterings for optimum growth and health.

sunlight

The Oxeye Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides 'Inhelsodor' TUSCAN GOLD) does best in full sun, meaning it should be placed in an area that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. However, it can tolerate some light shade or dappled light throughout the day. Avoid performing deep pruning on the plant during the peak sunlight times of the day, as this may cause sunburn on the leaves. In addition, be sure to water the plant when it appears wilted or during dry periods, as lack of moisture can cause the flowers to be smaller and less vibrant.

pruning

Oxeye sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides 'Inhelsodor' TUSCAN GOLD) should be pruned in the late winter or early spring. Pruning should be done lightly, removing only dead or damaged branches. Try to keep the shape of the plant as much as possible, keeping its natural, graceful form. Because this plant is a bit wild and untamed, it is best not to prune too much at once or too severely.
