Key Features

Tips

To ensure that Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty' maintains its health and vigor, consider dividing the plant every few years. This process rejuvenates your specimens and stimulates further growth.
Regularly deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and prevent self-seeding, keeping your garden tidy and flourishing.
While this species is adaptable to a range of soil types, it is important to ensure that the soil is well-drained to prevent root rot, which can occur in overly moist conditions.

Ideal placement of a Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty'

For optimal growth and flowering, Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty' should be situated in a location that receives full sun exposure. This clump-forming perennial thrives in warmth and light, which significantly enhances its vibrant red blooms throughout the summer months.

A sunny border or group planting within a garden will showcase its full potential, contributing to a dynamic and colorful landscape.

How do I plant a Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty'?

This species thrives across a range of soil types, provided they allow for adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging. When planting, ensure there is ample space for the clump-forming habit to expand and achieve its full height of 90 cm. After placing the plant in the ground, water moderately to establish it. Ideal planting times are in the cooler months of spring or autumn to allow the root system to strengthen before the warmer seasons.

Pruning a Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty'

To encourage a more vigorous growth and maintain the aesthetic appeal of Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty', it is advisable to regularly deadhead the flowers.

Watering a Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty'

Ensuring Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty' receives adequate moisture is crucial for its vibrant summer blooms. This species thrives with consistent watering, particularly during periods of high heat or extended drought. Aim to keep the soil evenly moist but be careful to avoid waterlogging, as well-drained soil is essential. Water at the base to minimize moisture on foliage, which could lead to issues in dense plantings. During peak flowering months, regular watering supports the clump-forming and ascending growth habit, promoting a robust display of its characteristic red blossoms.

Fertilising a Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty'

To ensure that Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty' thrives and displays its richly colored blooms, it benefits from a balanced fertilization regime. The ideal fertilization schedule involves applying a general-purpose, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support the initial growth spurt. As the growing season progresses, particularly during the peak flowering months from June to September, a second application will help sustain the plant's nutritional needs.

For optimal results, incorporate the fertilizer into the soil around the base of the plant, taking care to avoid direct contact with the foliage and stems. Regular feeding will encourage a robust, clump-forming growth habit and support the development of the vibrant red flowers that characterize this species. With the right care and nutrition, Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty' will continue to enhance any garden border or group planting with its stunning summer display.
