Helenium 'Sahin's Early Flowering'

Love the heart shape petals also colour pretty.

Thanks Morgana... it is an early flowering variety... i am hoping that it will keep going throught the season though.

How tall is it, Angie?

at the moment it is approx 2-2.5ft.... i don't think it gets much bigger than that...but i have ordered a taller orange one that flowers later, that i plant to plant just behind this.....

That's my problem in my 'hot' border - 'Moerheim Beauty' is in full bloom, and the one I got last year - 'El Dorado' - isn't as tall as it was meant to be...so I can't see it!

.... I just checked it out, and yes it goes to 3ft, so about what i thought and flowers from July-September...with dead heading.....not been too good with that this year,,, will have to pull my socks up... i could be out there doing it at mo..sun is shining...but i have such a sore knat bite on the back of my knee i just can't face the reaching and bending will play havok with it.... grass really needs cutting...may run a nice hot bath see if that helps.... hope so......so much to do out there is a bit like 'where to start'

You are lucky to have sun! Guess what we have! I'm waiting until it eases off to get out there, even if I only do some dead-heading...like you, I'm way behind. :-(

.... it is just so frustrating, especially now Brooke is off... it's fine being out there all day with her in the nice weather, she quite enjoys it... but when it's not so nice, it does'nt seem fair... i am quite happy to brave it, but Brooke would rather be Chick - flicking or playing with her toys.... it is ok at the moment, and we are having a lazy day... she wants to go over the park.. so gonna go have a hot soak see if i can sort out this sore leg, take her to the park, and then hopefully cut the grass and make a start on a few other things out there when we get back...well that's the plan,....knowing my luck it will start raining by the time we get round to doing my stuff...

I have soooo many bites on me, and they are all itching like crazy! I wish I knew what it was that does the biting. Yours sounds nasty! Make sure you put loads of antiseptic cream on, won't you!

Have a nice walk and play on the swings...hehe.

they are massive Spritz... my whole leg has swollen up.... still did'nt stop me from venturing over the park with ladyship,,,, and then made a start on that fairy bed :D
