Helenium The Bishop will ensure your late summer and autumn garden is full of shining colour. Hundreds of bold buttercup-yellow, shuttlecock-like, nectar-rich flowers are loved by bees and butterflies. Establish perfect displays of long-lasting, bold buttercup-yellow flowers in your borders and containers, whether in a cottage garden, prairie planting or more modern style. Dancing in the breeze, the nectar-rich bounty will attract local pollinating insects.Legend tells that Helenium sprang from the ground, watered by the tears of Helen of Troy. Known also as Sneezeweed, because the leaves were once used in snuff, Helenium are excellent as cut flowers for your home, lasting well in a vase. Easy to grow and very long flowering, Helenium The Bishop prefers to be grown in well-drained soil in sun or part shade. A hardy perennial with an RHS hardiness rating of H7, no winter protection will be required across most of the UK.
