Strong and robustCertainly making its presence felt, Helenium 'Red Army' boasts large, intense red, daisy-like blooms. Long flowering, blooms continue to be produced from mid-late summer, right through into October, as if to co-ordinate their warming hues with both the summer sun and then, later, the changing leaves. Excellent as cut flowers for arrangements within your home, Helenium 'Red Army' is happy in both containers and borders and is excellent for adding height. Furthermore, pollinators love this summer bloom for the feast of nectar it provides. Helenium 'Red Army' is a hardy, herbaceous perennial which prefers to be grown in moist, well-drained soil in full sun and grows to a height and spread of 1m. Deadhead plants frequently for a continuation of blooms and then, toward the end of the season, leave spent flowers so that the seedheads can add extra winter interest.
