Description
The best performer in recent Helenium trials at Weihenstephan, Germany. The flowers are topaz-gold above, rusty red underneath, the up-facing petals slightly curled so that both colors are revealed. The foliage remains glossy and clean all the way to the base. Blooms mid-to late summer; deadheading helps extend the season.
