Why You’ll Love it

Helenium ‘Moerheim Beauty’ is a vibrant late-season perennial, prized for its striking red and yellow daisy-like flowers that bloom from late summer into autumn. The warm, fiery tones bring drama and colour to borders and perennial plantings when many other plants are beginning to fade. Its upright, bushy habit adds structure and height, while the long flowering season attracts bees and butterflies, supporting pollinators.

Planting & Care Tips

• Plant in full sun for best flowering and upright growth

• Prefers well-drained, fertile soil; keep soil moderately moist

• Water during establishment and during prolonged dry periods

• Deadhead spent flowers to extend flowering period

• Cut back in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges

• Pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses and mid-height perennials for contrast and texture
