About this plant

Helenium ‘Red Selection’ is a robust Helen’s Flower that thrives in full to part sun and average to moist soils. This heavy-blooming variety produces abundant red flowers with distinctively toothed petal edges from mid-summer through fall. The strong stems support the profuse blooms without staking, making it an easy-care addition to perennial borders. Butterflies and other pollinators visit the nectar-rich flowers repeatedly, adding dynamic interest to the late-season garden.
