Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty'
Features vibrant reddish-brown flowers making a show in midsummer. This form sometimes needs staking in gardens. Great Plant Pick selection. The rich colour provides strong warm tones for summer borders.
Thrives in sunny locations with moisture-retentive soil. The reddish-brown tones are among the richest in the genus. May require support in rich soils or exposed sites. Excellent cut flower with long vase life. Combines well with ornamental grasses and late summer perennials. The warm colours suit hot-coloured schemes.
