    • About this plant

      Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty' is a classic and much-loved variety, prized for its rich, warm-toned flowers that shift from deep red to coppery-orange as they mature. The golden-brown central cones add contrast, creating a stunning effect in late-season borders. This clump-forming, upright perennial produces strong, branching stems, making it excellent for adding height and texture. Highly attractive to bees and butterflies, it is an essential plant for wildlife-friendly gardens. Its robust, long-lasting blooms make it a perfect choice for cut flowers and mixed perennial borders, especially when combined with ornamental grasses and other late-summer bloomers.
