Helenium
Helensflower
Legend has it that Helenium first grew on ground watered with the tears of Helen of Troy. The backbone of the late season garden, they send out branching stems covered with red, yellow, orange and bronze daisy-like flowers that have sculpted conical centers and fringed satiny petals. In areas of high wind or heavy rain, the stout stalks may need support.

Hats off to Dutch plantsman Nic Geerling for selecting this compact sturdy cultivar from a group of seedlings and later releasing it in 2005. Ogled by pollinators, plants people and floral designers, the full lavishly-hued blooms debut conical brownish maroon centers amid horizontally held crimson petals with yellow flecks towards the edges plus tangerine shades, that age to mahogany. A winsome mildew-resistant perennial, ‘Chelsey’s lance-like bright green leaves and thick upright stems can mosey alongside Aster ‘Nachtauge’ and Perovskia ‘Little Spire’.
Blooms July–September
Size: 2-1/2' high x 18" wide.
