Growing and Maintenance Tips

Helenium Moerheim Beauty is easily grown in rich moist soils in the full sun. Soil needs to be kept watered. Propagate by seed or division every 2-3 years. Fertilize sparingly to reduce risk of weak stems. Plants may benefit from being cut back in early spring to encourage more branching and floriferous growth. Foliage should be cut back after flowering. May need staking. 'Moerheim Beauty' is best used in borders, meadows and wild gardens.
