'Touch of Blush' gains its name from the pink tones that appears on new foliage. This "blush" coloration nicely accents the bright white variegation of the dark green leaves. Semi double yellow flowers have multiple layers of overlapping petals. Compared to the flowers of fellow variegated introduction 'Bit of Honey', this variety has slightly smaller flowers and dark cones instead of gold. Compared to 'Tuscan Sun' and Tuscan Gold™, this variety is more compact. Like other variegated Heliopsis, 'Touch of Blush' is hardy to zone 4.

Heliopsis have traditionally been an excellent tall perennial for the middle or back of the flower border. It has a bushy, well-branched form and glossy, deep green, triangular leaves - a real workhorse in the garden! Use this plant in combination containers, as a cut flower, or to attract butterflies to your garden.
