Helenium 'Red Jewel'

gorgeous Barbara

I like this to, its almost 'gypsy' with all its baubles :~))

I love this one, too. Heleniums are such a joy to have!

Do they all have this ring of jewels?

It's beautiful Spritz.

Ian - I think so, but you can see it clearly on the darker coloured ones.

Thanks, Toto!

Would I be able to grow them? In my sandy sun filled garden I mean?

Thats a beauty Barbara !

Thanks, Amy!

Ian - my RHS book says they will grow in 'any fertile well-drained soil in sun'...

You know whats going to happen? I'm gona run out of space :~))

Noooo...Really?? You do surprise me!

Have you seen the photo of what I've bought today? LOL

Yessss!!!! :-)

So do you think I'll run out of space?

Lovely red...almost Turkish in it's delight!

Nice one, Fluff! :-)))

Its so pretty I can see why they call it a jewel lovely colours the form of the petals and love the centre

I love the color of this.

Striking beauty.

I think it's the truest red one that I've seen. But - all Heleniums are beautiful! I went to visit a National Collection two years ago - and kept saying 'Wow!' at all the beautiful shades of colour!

Beautiful colour and such an apt name.

It is, Gee, isn't it! :-)

Wouldn't mind this in my jewel box.

Actually, I can imagine this made into a hat to be worn at Ascot or the Queen's garden parties! LOL.

A favourite plant of mine ..LOVELY ...

Perfect for my Buddhist flower bed!! The colours are ideal!
Lovely pic, Spritz!

It certainly is a jewel, I love daisy plants, hence my name.....have just bought more rudbeckias this week!!!!

Goldsturm? Or different ones??

Have got Goldsturm, Prairie Sun two shades of yellow, picture on my page, and a lovely dark one called Cherry Brandy picture to follow, unfortunately it said to treat as an annual, but was bi-annual so will have to collect some seeds.

I've seen pics of that - it looks lovely! I shall take a look at 'Prairie Sun'. :-)
