Helenium 8217Meranti8217 8211 2026

Helenium \’Meranti\’ is a hardy perennial admired for its vibrant red daisy-like flowers with golden centres that bloom from midsummer into autumn, providing a long-lasting and striking display. The upright blooms rise above clumps of bright green foliage, adding structure, texture, and late-season colour to borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial plantings. Its flowers attract bees and butterflies, supporting both ornamental and ecological value.

Thriving in full sun with moist, fertile, well-drained soil, Helenium \’Meranti\’ is low-maintenance and easy to grow. Deadheading spent flowers encourages prolonged flowering, while cutting back in spring maintains compact and healthy growth. Hardy and resilient, this cultivar delivers bold late-summer to autumn colour and pairs well with ornamental grasses or other late-flowering perennials.
