    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Richly-coloured 2-3 inch wide daisy-like flowers of burned-red petals, fanned around a prominent brown and yellow bi-colour centre. These are borne on tall upright stems that carry smooth-edged lanceolate foliage. 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.
