Helenium - Seeds & Bulbs

Helenium
Red and Gold Shades

This florist's favorite Helenium is a tall, hard-to-find fall beauty. Also called Helen's flower (from Helen of Troy's tears) and Sneezeweed (Native American's used it to prevent hay fever). A tall colorful fall showstopper. The perfect choice for infertile, poorly drained soil.

Exposure: Full Sun

When to Sow Outside: 3 to 4 weeks before last frost.
