Helenium seeds | Autumnale "Rotgold Hybrid Mix" | 50+ Seeds

Please find for sale 50+ Helenium seeds variety "Autumnale Rotgold Mix " - a stunning mix of colours developed by leading German plant breeder Jelitto. Heleniums are 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! We also sell Jelitto's Helenium seeds in individual colours.

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