Description
Helenium 'Dunkle Pracht' is a variety of Helenium with a beautiful intense and rare red that fades to orange towards the edges. It is a perennial with large flowers, ideal for borders and for making bouquets. Heleniums bloom in summer and accompany the garden until autumn, they are perfect, docile, hardy and easy to grow perennials, every garden should have them!
Hybrid Heleniums are often derived from Helenium autumnale, a perennial native to North America, which is usually found on the edges of swamps. The cultivar 'Dunkle Pracht' is darkly beautiful, its upright habit corresponds to numerous thin stems that reach 90cm (35in) in height. The colourful leaves are a bright green, lanceolate in shape with smooth margins and are alternately arranged along the stems. From July to September, a myriad of flowers succeed each other at the top of the well-branched stems. Resembling 5cm (2in) in diameter daisies, the heads have a prominent reddish-brown cone in the center. At the periphery, a row of intense red florets is tinged with orange, this unprecedented colour harmony is perfect for illustrating autumn in a garden.
Robust, hardy and rarely diseased, this Helenium thrives in ordinary soil. Easy to grow, it appreciates sunny positions, plant it in slopes, borders or even containers. Despite all these qualities, Helenies remain rare in gardens. Perhaps because their warm tones announce autumn a little too quickly. A good companion, 'Dunkle Pracht' pairs well with asters and Heucheras, but can also be associated with a spindle tree, Lavateras or poppies.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
