Propagation: Primary propagation methods for heliopsis are seeds, cuttings, and division. Successful rooting requires light, warmth, and well-draining soil. Take cuttings in early summer or sow seeds post-frost in spring. Division is best in spring or fall. Regular watering and adequate sunlight promote growth.
