Excellent vermilion red flowers with slightest hint
of tangerine under the petal tips. The near black cones are very striking
compared to the more normal chocolate brown cones in red flowered Heleniums.
Short plants - about 2ft / 60cm high.
Flowers from third week of July. The flowers,
like most red Heleniums, open orange and yellow striped, soon turning red.
Unlike some other reds Vivace keeps its colour as the flowers mature.
First entered in the RHS Plant Finder in 2003/4.
"Vicace" is an Italian musical term
indicating a "lively mood".
