Heliopsis plant named ‘Touch of Blush’

Abstract

The new and distinct hardy perennial plant, Heliopsis ‘Touch of Blush’, 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 and the young foliage shows a reddish-purple blush. Inflorescences have a single layer of overlapping, golden-yellow ray florets and dark-brownish central disk florets. 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 ‘Touch of Blush’ essentially as herein described and illustrated.
