Helenium Pipsqueak (Stephen Jackson 1998) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Diminutive
plants (15” / 35cm tall) with brown-coned, yellow flowers with down
swept petals from late June.
It
was introduced by Blooms on behalf of Stephen Jackson from Ilkeston, Derbyshire, We
are told that European Plant Varietal Rights were denied because of its
distinct similarity to "The
Bishop".
However it flowers slightly later than "The Bishop” and the flowers
have more of a "pinched waist". In our opinion it is
altogether a superior plant to The Bishop - more robust, more floriferous
and healthier. Also, what a brilliant name! (Stephen tells me it was
originally going to be named "Shuttlecock" because of the flower
shape). Photo: Helenium Pipsqueak © 2008 SpecialPerennials.com all rights reserved
