Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Providing fabulous late season color, this award-winning perennial and cut flower has a profusion of flowers opening deep-red before developing orange and yellow streaks; sturdy 36" stems. S/M PPAF
This cultivar's flowers open deep red with a brown and yellow central cone, then develop orange and yellow streaks on the petals. The flowers of Helenium are non-allergenic. Instead, it gets its name from the old-time use of the dried, powdered root for snuff. Helenium is a wonderful perennial that is easy to grow and provides months of fabulous colour from midsummer through early fall. Their tall stems and long lasting flowers make them ideal for cutting. An AGM winner. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
Great for the border with warm colored flowers of deep red streaked with orange and yellow arranged around a brown center cone. 3' x 3'
