Helenium 'Margot' - 2019

We need some of these, are they easy to grow Andrew?

DD - there are a few things you need to know about heleniums. Firstly, they need a soil that doesn't dry out. Secondly, slugs love the shoots of young plants. I've been growing them inside copper rings and and little b*ggers haven't found a way in yet. Once the clumps become established, this becomes less of a problem. Thirdly, most varieties grow five to six feet tall and benefit from a Chelsea chop, reducing them by half to two thirds. If we get a dry summer, half is sufficient - you have to make a calculated guess in May!

Oh right!! looking for something not as tall, possibly two to three ft would fit the bill!

DD - see www.helenium.net/helenium.htm for an extensive list of heleniums. Something may take your fancy :-)

Many thanks Andrew....will take a look !!

Oh dear - what have I done? :-)

Quite, I will blame you........
