Helenium ‘Sahin’s Early Flowerer’
at Digging Dog

Helenium

Helensflower

Legend has it that Helenium first grew on ground watered with the tears of Helen of Troy. The backbone of the late season garden, Helenium sends out branching stems covered with yellow, orange and bronze daisy-like flowers that have sculpted, conical centers and fringed, silky petals.

In areas of high wind or heavy rain, the stout stems may need support.

Helenium ‘Sahin’s Early Flowerer’ 

If razzle-dazzle is what you’re looking for consider trying this festive AGM winner. Tidy, tapered green leaves and tall brawny stems hoist a bright celebration of multihued deep red flowers with gold and coffee-colored central knobs. Shortly after unfurling, the-perfect-for-cutting blooms manifest sparkling orange and sunny yellow streaks, each blossom unique in its pattern and combination of shades. Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ and Aconitum ‘Bressingham Spire’ make equally vibrant companions.

Blooms July–September.

Size: 2-1/2'–3' high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4.
