Helenium Rubinzwerg (Sneezeweed)

Compact and densely branched, award-winner Helenium 'Rubinzwerg' features masses of cheerful rich mahogany red daisylike flowers that surround a green disk that matures to dark chocolate and opens with a rim of golden anthers.

• This fabulous perennial provides weeks of splashes of color, from midsummer 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 30-36 in. tall (75-90 cm) and spreads 18-24 in. wide (45-60 cm)
• Looks stunning planted in mass, mixes beautifully with ornamental grasses or any other perennial plants. Well suited for borders, cottage gardens or naturalistic areas such as prairies or meadows.
• Very attractive as cut flowers, it has a good resistance to most insects and diseases, attracts butterflies and deer ignore it!
• A full sun lover, it is very hardy and has 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.
