Comment |
Erect Form. Pruning Group 14. "Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty' is an upright perennial with dark-centred, coppery-red flower-heads 6-8cm (2-3in) across in summer. It has strongly reflexed outer petals (rays), dark red on the underside, with a brown centre to the flower head. It is popular for its very long flowering period, June to October, if regularly dead-headed and cut back in late summer. Performs best when well supported. It is relatively drought tolerant, but in very dry soils it may need additional watering. " from Royal Horticultural Society. "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. Cut down to the ground in late winter. Every two or three years divide the plants in spring to keep them in top condition. When replanting add loads of well-rotted organic matter to the soil to feed them and keep them moist." from Crocus. For Cutflowers you should "strip the bottom leaves and they will last over a week in water." from Sarah Raven. Available from Crocus and Sarah Raven in the UK with Lazy S'S Farm Nursery in America . |

"It makes a great feature in planting schemes on a pinkish-red or orange-red theme for summer to autumn, or consider contrasting it with blues of agapanthus and aconitum." from Royal Horticultural Society. |
