Helenium is a genus containing forty species of annuals, biennials, and perennials. Native to
North and Central America where they are found in damp meadows or at woodland margins.
Mostly clump-forming plants with sturdy branching stems, lance-shaped leaves, and daisy-like
flowers. Our helenium plants are hardy perennials that offer tough characteristics and superb
bloom power to the garden border.

Helenium Growing Tips
|

- Plant in a well-drained soil that has been enriched with organic matter or already has an
adequate amount of organic matter.
- Before planting make sure the pH of your soil is within a 5.5-7.0 for optimum growth
and flowering.
- Helenium plants enjoy full sun, but will tolerate partial shade.
- Mulch around plants to maintain an even soil temperature and to aid in moisture
conservation.
