Out Of Season
Rare hue for a helenium.
This variety produces tight clusters of small, dusky red flowers with a hint of blue. Some flowers may have yellow-tipped petals, but the colour remains consistent as the flower matures, unlike some other heleniums that change colour as they age. Cut back old blooms to encourage new flowers, and to attract butterflies to flit amidst your back border or cutting garden.
