New entry to the RHS Plant Finder in 2006/7 edition - touted as the first fully double Helenium although it is frilly rather than  a true double. 

Big heads of small flowers that start in the third week of July and continue for a long time. Very stout stems reaching about 3ft 3in / 100cm. 

Said to be sterile but we have not yet verified this (actually one seed company advertises seed of this variety. We will try it out and see if it is the true to type).

The flowers actually have fewer (c14) petals (ray florets) than the norm (c18-22), but each petal has 4 layers giving a very double appearance.
