Heliopsis plant named ‘Bit of Honey’

Abstract

The new and distinct hardy perennial plant, Heliopsis ‘Bit of Honey’, has dense, rounded, mound habit with extensively-branched, predominately strong upright stems that resist lodging. The foliage is narrowly ovate to broadly lanceolate with green surrounding the veins and near white between the veins. Inflorescences are in a capitulum with two or three whorls of golden-yellow, overlapping, ray florets and central disk florets of gold coloration. The new plant is freely flowering and begins blooming in early summer and continues for about six weeks. The new plant is useful in the landscape en masse, as an accent, in containers or as cut flowers.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct hardy perennial  Heliopsis  plant named ‘Bit of Honey’ essentially as herein described and illustrated.
