Yellow Helenium

By Siris


Yellow Helenium (Helenium autumnale (American Sneezeweed))

From Piece from Simbad. If it had a name, have lost it. For some reason not in 'my garden file'.

I know it doesn't look very tidy, but I put rose prunings over newly planted plants to help prevent cats scratching out plants, maybe that would work against birds. If my new Iris don't have long roots and are wobbly in the ground, I make a hoop from a metal coat hanger to peg the rhizome down, until it becomes established.
