Helenium Sahin's Early Flowerer (Kees Sahin)

Today this is one of the most popular varieties that gets lots of mentions in the media, thus perpetuating its position. Despite its name, it is not the earliest, starting to flower in early July. It is one of the longest flowering though and is still producing blooms in November in our garden. Although it is only about 3ft / 90cm tall it does need staking. The flower colour is variable from reddish-orange in hot weather through to egg-yolk yellow in cool weather and its petals are more "drooping" in cool weather. 

As usual the British have trouble with foreign names and we saw this at the RHS Tatton Flower Show for sale as “Satin’s Early”!
