Helenium 'The Bishop'
sneezeweed
Providing long-lasting colour from midsummer, this sturdy perennial produces a generous display of golden-yellow blooms with a bold brown centre. The flowerheads sit on strong, branching stems that rise above a leafy base, giving good height and structure in borders.
Helenium ‘The Bishop’ fits well in mixed perennial planting, prairie-style schemes, and wildlife-friendly gardens, where its warm tones and open flowers attract bees and butterflies right through late summer.

How to care for Helenium The Bishop:
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.
