Product Description
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 three established plants in 9cm pots, ready for planting, growing to a height of 1m and spread of 50cm.

Plant Information
Top Tips
- Deadhead regularly to prolong blooming and cut back by half when flowering has finished. Plants can be cut to the ground in autumn.
Care Guide
- Grow in any fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Provide support for the best results, especially in exposed areas.
- To keep sneezeweed happy, divide clumps every three years or so to rejuvenate them.
- Before planting, prepare the soil by digging over and removing any weeds. Incorporate some well-rotted manure to enrich the soil if necessary.
- When planting a number of perennials, arrange them on the surface so you can see how they will look before planting.
- Individually knock out each plant from its container. Look at the roots – if they are circling around the compost, it is best to tease them out. To do this, push your fingers into the rootball along the bottom edge and pull. Do this in a couple of places. This should encourage the roots to spread into the surrounding soil.
- Next use a trowel or spade to create a hole just deep and wide enough to set in the rootball.
- The aim is to bury just the roots, leaving the bases of the stems (when in growth in summer) or the shoots (in spring) above ground.
- Firm back around the soil, using your hand for small clumps and your heel on larger areas.
- Water in well to settle the soil and prevent desiccation.
