What is heliomeris?

Heliomeris is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, native to North and Central America. The common name for this plant is false sunflower. The plant typically grows to be about 1 to 3 feet in height and has yellow daisy-like flowers that bloom in late summer and early fall. The leaves are alternate, lance-shaped, and slightly hairy. Heliomeris is often grown in gardens as an ornamental plant, and it prefers full sun and well-drained soil. The plant is drought-tolerant and easy to care for, making it a popular choice for low-maintenance gardens. The genus was first described by the French botanist André Michaux in 1803.
