Helenium Helena Red

Helenium Helena OrangeProduct Description
This vibrant Helenium collection, also known as Sneezeweed, produces giant colourful daisy-like flowers in a variety of stunning colours that are perfect for the summer border. Their strong golden hues are highly attractive to butterflies and bees so are ideal for planting in garden borders where they can be enjoyed. This colourful collection also works well within cut flower displays or within bouquets for those special occasions. A much-underrated clump forming perennial, these plants are extremely hardy and able to tolerate difficult growing conditions. Preferring damp conditions, we recommend deadheading to promote new flowers. Reaching a height of 50-70cm, these flowers will bloom from June through to September. The collection will include two each of: Helena Red, Helena Orange and Helena Gold. Supplied as UK-grown 5cm module plants.

Growing at a glance…
Apply mulch in winter to help protect against the cold. Deadhead regularly to promote new flowers. Suitable for planting in all types of well drained garden soil. They work best once planted in sunny location. To plant them in the border, dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the entire root ball. Do this until the top of the soil from the module is just below the top of the pot. Fill around the modules with soil and firm them down gently. To plant them within a wall, find an opening and pack it halfway with soil. Then, take the module and pop it in the hole, making sure it's sturdy by packing soil around it. Water well.
