Helenium autumnale (Sneezeweed) 'Short and Sassy'
A compact and vibrant perennial that brings a rich autumnal colour palette to the garden with its profusion of deep copper orange flowers, each adorned with a prominent, darker central cone. Its sturdy, branching stems form a well behaved, bushy clump that requires no staking, making it an excellent choice for the front or middle of a sunny border. Blooming from late summer into autumn, it provides a vital source of nectar for bees and butterflies when many other flowers are fading. This free flowering selection is also superb for cutting, bringing the warm, cheerful colours of the late season garden indoors.
