Ruby red petals with fluted edges surround a velvety button centre of saffron yellow & red, & grow above narrow, sharply pointed leaves. The warm colours of Helenium ' Ruby Tuesday' work well with other fiery colours & its tall, branched form looks good amongst swaying ornamental grasses. The show of colour lasts right through from July to September, & the nectar is loved by pollinating insects. Given moist conditions & full sun, Helen's Flower is easy to grow. It makes a great cut flower too.
