Growing Heleniums 

Well-draining soil in as much sun as possible is all they really need, but they do flower best when they don't dry out in summer. They are very hardy and recommended for frost pockets.

Helenium are generally pest free, and easy to grow and care for. You might occasionally need to tackle problems such as leaf spot, but good gardening practices, such as appropriate weeding and feeding, together with our range of organic garden products, will help keep your plants looking at their most healthy and beautiful.

Helenium are popular cut flowers. Picking first thing in the morning or late evening (when moisture content is high) will significantly extend their vase life.

Please note that unlike other Heleniums, their tough taproots make them unsuitable for dividing, so propagate them by seed instead.
