Helenium ?Sundae Duo? brings together two free flowering varieties that really pack a punch at the front of borders. Their bright, cheerful, daisy-like blooms appear from June to October, attracting bees and butterflies to the garden.
Heleniums are late flowering perennials with spectacular flowers in hot colours. Also known as sneezeweed, they're invaluable for bringing vibrant colour to the garden from mid-summer until the autumn. 'Zorro Bicolor' is a stunning Helenium with toothed leaves and magnificent rich red flowers edged in golden yellow with a chocolate-coloured centre that gradually turns yellow as the flowers age and the stamens appear - a fiery colour combination that's impossible to ignore from July until September! Still in full flower when other garden plants are fading away, plant 'Zorro Bicolor' in beds and borders or in large pots to create vibrant, flaming displays on your patio. Try underplanting it with Crocosmia to really turn up the heat. Recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators' the flowers are a favourite with butterflies and bees and many other insects. Carried on long, straight and strong stems, they are ideal cut flowers, and there are so many of them that you'll be able to pick them right the way through the flowering season, bringing bold, hot colour into your house. Supplied as 3 x established plants in 9cm pots, ready for planting, reaching a height of 50cm (20in) and spread of 60cm (2ft).
Heleniums, also known as sneezeweed, flower over a long period from June, guaranteeing you a spectacular display every year. Bursting from deep bronze buds, 'Moerheim Beauty' produces an endless display of dark centred, copper-red flowers splashed with orange from early summer into autumn. Held on tall, straight stems, they are perfect for cutting and bringing into your home for a splash of rich colour. The fiery outer petals form a blazing ring around a prominent brown button which in turn gradually transitions to yellow as it ages as a wave of stamens appear. Perfect for late season colour, still flowering abundantly when most other plants are fading away. Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come, and it's also recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators', with flowers that are a favourite with butterflies and bees. Supplied as 3 x established plants in 9cm pots, ready for planting, growing to a height of 1m and spread of 50cm.

A curious plant for the front of the border. Autumn Lollipop boasts heads of rustic yellow and bronze with a small basal frill of ruffled petals. Highly ornate and also an extremely original cut flower. Height: 60-90cm (24-36in)
The long lasting, daisy-like blooms of Helenium 'Sahins Early Flowerer' vary from light yellow to deep orange, depending on the temperature. The colourful flowers are excellent for cutting at the end of summer, when many other plants have passed their best.
Keeping the garden bright and lovely well into October, Helenium 'Double Trouble' has flowers of gold with narrow ruffled petals around a button-like centre. The flowers grow on tall branched stems and bloom from July until early autumn, providing a great source of nectar for wildlife and attracting pollinating insects and bees.
