Helenium ‘Sahin’s Early Flowerer’ (Sneezeweed)

An exceptionally long and prolific bloomer, award-winner Helenium ‘Sahin’s Early Flowerer’ features cheerful daisylike flowers with long petals surrounding a prominent chocolate brown center disk covered with golden pollen and attracts butterflies. Opening orange-red, the petals fade progressively to orange and yellow as they mature. A feast for the eye!

• This fabulous perennial provides weeks of splashes of color from early summer to fall, when many other perennials are starting to fade.
• Recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
• Grows up to 4 ft. tall (120 cm) and spreads 2 ft. wide (60 cm)
• It looks stunning planted in mass, and mixes beautifully with ornamental grasses or other perennial plants. Well suited for borders, cottage gardens, or naturalistic areas such as prairies or meadows.
• Very attractive as cut flowers, it has good resistance to most insects and diseases, attracts butterflies, and deer ignore it!
• A full sun lover, it is very hardy and prefers average, medium to wet, well-drained soils. Prefers rich, moist soils and hates dry soils. Regular watering maters for profuse blossoms!
• Deadheading will extend the flowering season. Once flowering has ceased and the plant has died back the stems should be cut down.
