Description
Helenium 'Waldtraut' is a variety of colourful Helenium with bright orange that fades to yellow-orange towards the edges of the peripheral florets. It is a late summer perennial that brightens up the end of the sunny days and accompanies the first autumn colours in the garden. The large daisy-like heads are perfect for bouquets. In borders, Heleniums accompany asters with flair and are very easy to grow.
Native varieties of Heleniums originate from North America and are typically found at the edge of marshes. The 'Waldtraut' cultivar has an upright habit with stems reaching 90cm (35in) in height. The brightly coloured lanceolate leaves with smooth margins are arranged alternately along the stems. During the months from July to September, a multitude of flowers invades the top of the stems. The heads resemble large daisies, with a cone in shades of red-brown at the centre gradually giving way to yellow stamens. At the periphery, brightly coloured florets in orange that fade to yellow-orange at the petal edges complete this range of warm tones.
Helenium 'Waldtraut' is a robust, hardy and disease-free plant. It thrives in ordinary soils and sunny exposures. Easy to grow, it blooms equally well in slopes, borders, or containers. Despite all these qualities, Heleniums remain rare in gardens. Perhaps because their colours announce autumn a little too soon. 'Waldtraut' pairs very well with autumnal plants such as Rudbeckias or poppies, but it can also be associated with a deciduous Euonymus whose foliage ignites at the first cold weather.

Planting and care
Plant Helenium 'Waltraut' in regular well-drained soil, adding planting soil and/or well-rotted compost. Choose a sunny position for it. Water regularly after planting, then only water in case of prolonged drought once it is established. Cut back the plant once the stems have turned black. Every 2 to 3 years, you can divide the clump in spring or autumn to rejuvenate the plant and give it renewed vigour.

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).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
