Plant has been thriving, with this summer being the thrid year I have had it. It starting flowering before June and flowers profusely through much of the summer. Have not had problems with disease or insects.

This came up in my yard as a volunteer from my neighbors plant across the street. It has since come up very freely throughout my yard. It has very nice foliage, and for the most part, comes up true from seed.

I have to say that this is a keeper! Bought Loraine on a whim 2 years ago, and she has proven to be remarkable. Very cheery, welcoming flowers in the garden, and the variegated foliage is perfect. The plant itself stays tidy, and last year I had 6 babies which must have sprouted from her seeds. They all had the same variegation as their mom. Very nice sun-loving perennial!

I wish I had a picture. This plant is so easy to grow. Dividing produces reliably variegated plants, but seeds produce variegated plants as well. I grew this plant from seed, and at least half or a fourth of the seedlings were nicely variegated.
This plant bloomed its first year from seed for me and is also well known for blooming practically all season, as with most Heliopsis. Of course, the added attraction on this one is the lovely foliage--a wonderful all around plant.
