Description
Helenium 'Bruno'
Height x Spread: 75cm x 60cm
'Bruno' has gorgeous crimson red daisy-like flowers during summer held atop upright stems with lance-shaped green foliage. This clump forming perennial is commonly known as Sneezeweed.
Perfect for a 'hot' themed border, it thrives in a sunny situation with a humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil. Bees and butterflies love Heleniums. They look fantastic when planted in drifts with other summer flowering perennials. Deadhead to prolong the flowering period over the summer.
