Heliopsis is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants in the sunflower family,[2][3] native to dry prairies in North and South America.[4] The sunflower-like composite flowerheads are usually yellow, up to 8 cm (3 in) in diameter, and are borne in summer. Species are commonly called ox-eye or oxeye.[5]

The name Heliopsis (pronounced /ˌhiːliˈɒpsɪs/, from Greek helios for "sun" and opsis for "appearance") refers to the bright yellow color of the flowers.

Species are found widely in cultivation in temperate climates, notably varieties of H. helianthoides.

gollark: Programmers are expensive. Compute time is cheap. If they could write reasonably usable code automatically, they could outcompete everyone else.

gollark: It's not that simple, or someone would already have *done* this and taken over the entire software industry.

gollark: This has been done.

gollark: Not sure if that went anywhere.
