Helenium Autumnale "Red Shades" 50+ Seeds | Bees

£3.99 GBP
£3.99 GBP
Sale Sold out
Tax included.
Please find for sale 50+ fresh Helenium seeds variety "Red Shades" - a very easy to grow plant that produces a mass of flowers from June to September. Particularly loves  dry conditions so is great for containers, the border of the kinds of dry spots where poppies also thrive. It acts as a landing pad for the thousands of bees that will come to pay homage to Helen of Troy (after which Helenium is named). It's a mystery why more people don't grow this from seed when the plants are so expensive at garden centres! I also sell lovely yellow variety "Goldfield" - I think the two would work well together.

Heleniums will self-seed providing repeat and free performances year on year.

PLEASE NOTE: All orders received before 8pm (Mon-Fri) will be dispatched same day

Germination Guide 
  • Sow in UK from March to July. 
  • Sow on the surface of a moist sieved compost mix - ideally 50% seed compost 50% vermiculite 
  • Mist with water but do not cover as these seeds need light to germinate
  • Germination takes 2-3 weeks at 18°C, but may be erratic. 
  • Prick out and pot on once large enough to handle
  • Initial growth can be quite slow then suddenly becomes very quick  - presumably when the day length hits a certain point.
