Prune immediately after flowering

Height to about 70cm

Plants are happy in full sun or partial shade and they like an average dry to medium but well-drained position in the garden

It’s extremely free-flowering and grown in drifts perhaps merging them with other Heleniums - Moerheim Beauty or Lord of Flanders which we also grow looks particularly striking

They are such great pollinator attractors
