Helenium
'Ruby Tuesday'
Red with widely spaced and often quilled petals. Flowers from mid August. Height about
2ft - 2ft 6" / 60-75cm in garden soil.
The flowers are the darkest black red on
opening and develop into a deep ruby tone.
Bred to perform well in containers where it is usually shorter and more quilled,
probably from lack of water!
First entered in the RHS Plant Finder in
2006/7.
European Plant Varietal Rights have been
terminated and no longer apply.
The name is from a Rolling Stones song but
now properly called "Ruby Thuesday" in UK/Europe.
