This packet contains approximately 80 seeds.

Does this plant need full sun?

Yes, for best performance and flowering, Helenium 'Autumn Lollipop' should be planted in a position that receives full sun.

Can I grow these in pots?

While they are intended for borders, they can be grown in containers as long as they are provided with adequate space to reach their full spread of 45cm.

Why shouldn't I cover the seeds with soil?

These seeds require light to germinate effectively. A very fine dusting of compost is all that is needed.

What is the final height of this plant?

Troubleshooting

Seeds failing to germinate after 21 days

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique rustic color palette and ruffled petal texture
  • Excellent for use as a fresh cut flower
  • Continuous summer blooming period
  • Compact growth habit suitable for smaller borders

Cons

  • Requires specific 13-15C temperatures for germination
  • Needs bright light during germination
  • Requires gradual acclimatization before outdoor planting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, sow seeds between February and June or September and October using a high-quality, free-draining seed compost. Keep the soil damp and maintain a consistent temperature between 13-15C (55-59F). Always ensure the seeds are not buried, as light is essential for germination. Once seedlings reach a handleable size, move them to 7.5cm pots. Before moving them to their permanent outdoor position (spaced 30cm apart), ensure they are gradually acclimatized to outside temperatures to prevent shock.
