This dwarf variety of hardy perennial helenium is perfectly formed and not susceptible to wind damage like the taller varieties. It forms a lovely clump of flowers for the late summer and autumn border. It looks really dramatic in drifts.I divide this plant in spring by just slicing off a rosette with its own roots and replanting it.
This plant does best in full sun and fertile moist soil. Dead head fading flowers to prolong the flowering season with secateurs.
