Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty'
sneezeweed
Held on wiry stems above the foliage, Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty' has long-lasting, strongly-reflexed, daisy-like flowerheads, 6-8cm (2-3in) across, that appear in summer, in shades of rich orange and red with a prominent brown centre.
Hugely popular with both gardeners and pollinating insects, this RHS award-winning, upright perennial combines wonderfully with ornamental grasses and earth-toned flowers and looks fabulous when grown in front of a purple beech hedge, or similar dark foliage.

How to care for Helenium Moerheim Beauty:
Heleniums are versatile plants that love plenty of sunshine and moist soil, however young plants do need to be protected from slugs and snails. Tall varieties may need to be staked in exposed spots.
To encourage the plant to repeat flower, deadhead back to side shoots that have flower buds emerging. Cut back by half after flowering to help prevent mildew, and cut down to the ground in late winter.
Every two or three years in the spring when the new growth is surging away, you can divide the plants to keep them in top condition.
