Are Helenium Perennials

Heleniums are colorful, easy-to-grow perennials that flower in late summer. Their daisy-like blossoms measure 1 to 2” across and have prominent button-like centers.

Is helenium a perennial or annual?

Helenium autumnale is a vigorous, hardy perennial, with green lance-shaped leaves and broad rounded orange/yellow flowers, with a distinctive central cone. Height to 5ft (150cm), spread to 2ft (60cm).

What do you do with Heleniums in the winter?

Water regularly to prevent the soil from drying out, and deadhead spent blooms to keep the flowers coming. Divide congested helenium clumps every few years, in spring or autumn. Heleniums die back over winter, so cut them back after flowering.
