I'm starting to gather plants for a large front border project, hoping to do some Fall planting. I have come up with a complete 'zero' on heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra "Golden Plume".

I've seen descriptions and pictures of it online but no mail order sources. There is no heliopsis available locally that I have detected.

Can anyone point me to a source? I'd be happy to even grow it from seed (if it's a variety that comes true from seed).

I have two places I look for plants, Daves Garden PlantScout, and The U of MN's Plant Info Online. Neither listed it, so it may not be currently available in the US, though both listed several other selections of this plant. Perhaps one of the other selections is similar.

I did notice that this plant was listed as suitable for zones 3-9, and though I know nothing about gardening in your neck of the woods, that may be the reason that no one carries it locally.

Here is a link that might be useful: UMN Plant Info Online

I know it's a different plant, but I have Helianthus 'Happy Days' and it's awesome. I got it from Romence Gardens. If you look for substitutes, this is something similar. Lots of blooms on this one.
