Helenium ‘Moerheim Beauty’

Description

Helenium ‘Moerheim Beauty’

A classic and beloved cultivar that brings rich, autumnal tones to the late summer garden. Growing to an impressive height of 100-120 cm, Helenium ‘Moerheim Beauty’ forms sturdy, upright clumps crowned with masses of daisy-like flowers. The blooms emerge in deep copper-red tones, gradually aging to warm terracotta, creating a tapestry of sunset colours that extends the visual interest of each flower.

This robust perennial begins its flowering performance in mid-summer and continues well into autumn, providing a reliable source of late-season colour. The dark brown central cones are surrounded by petals that reflex downwards in a characteristic manner, whilst the strong stems are clothed in narrow, dark green foliage that provides an elegant backdrop to the flowers.

‘Moerheim Beauty’ performs best in full sun and moisture-retentive soil, though it tolerates a range of conditions once established. It excels in traditional herbaceous borders, prairie-style plantings, and works beautifully in naturalistic schemes where its rich colouring can complement ornamental grasses.
