watering
Ox Eye should be watered once a week, providing about 1-2 inches of water per week. The soil should be allowed to dry between waterings, and should not be overwatered. In addition, the soil should be kept evenly moist during its blooming period. If necessary, water in the morning to prevent the evening from becoming too humid.
sunlight
Ox eye (Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra 'Burning Hearts') should receive full sun exposure to optimize its growth. This plant species prefers to receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day, so places with full sun exposure are ideal. The plant should be placed in an area with morning sun and afternoon shade for best results. In addition, ox eye is drought tolerant and can withstand up to 4 hours of direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day. This plant species is also tolerant to a wide variety of soil conditions, so it can be planted in areas with poor soils as well.
pruning
Ox eye (Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra 'Burning Hearts') should be pruned in the late winter or early spring just as new growth begins to appear. Cut back the previous season's stems to a height of 6 to 10 inches, removing spent flower stalks and any weak or damaged wood. To maintain its desired shape, thin out the center of the bush, leaving only the strongest, healthiest stems.
