Types of False goldeneyes

Showy goldeneye

Showy goldeneye (Heliomeris multiflora) looks a lot like a sunflower. On closer inspection, you’ll find that the flowers of this plant aren’t as big and there’s a lot more of them. It’s easy to confuse the two since showy goldeneye and the common sunflower are in the same plant family. If you’re going to grow it in your garden, keep in mind that it thrives best in full sunlight.

Heliomeris longifolia is an annual herb up to 15 cm tall, with a large taproot. Leaves are up to 16 cm long, with hairs along the edges. One plant can produce 25 or more yellow flower heads, each head with 12-14 ray flowers surrounding 50 or more tiny disc flowers.
