Helenium 'Ruby Tuesday'

Widely spaced deep burgundy ray florets, which are often quilled at their outer edge, gradually turn to coppery-red and become slightly reflexed as they mature towards the end of summer. They surround large blackish-red centres that produce small yellow disc florets. Bushy and compact in habit, they are an ideal choice for pots and containers.

Helenium 'The Bishop'

Golden yellow ray florets, which are often slightly ruffled at their ends, give the flowerheads a slightly ragged appearance that lends itself particularly well to wilder style planting plans. These ray florets become noticeably reflexed as they mature from midsummer, which further accentuates the prominent brown centre.

Helenium 'Sahin's Early Flowerer'

Producing its flowerheads from early summer to autumn, this is one of the first Heleniums into flower each year. Surrounding the brown central cone, which gradually turns yellow and becomes more conspicuous as the disc florets open from the outer edge, the elongated ray florets are variably and attractively coloured with a mix of yellow and burnt orange to ochre red streaks.
