An exceptionally long and prolific bloomer, award-winner Helenium 'Sahin's Early Flowerer' features cheerful daisylike flowers, with long petals surrounding a prominent chocolate brown center disk that is covered with golden pollen and attracts butterflies. Opening orange-red, the petals fade progressively to orange and yellow as they mature. This fabulous perennial provides weeks of splashes of color, from early summer to fall, when many other perennials are starting to fade. Grows up to 4 ft. tall (120 cm). Very attractive as cut flowers, it has a good resistance to most insects and diseases

Noted for the spectacular display provided by its vivid flowers, Big Betony 'Superba' (Stachys macrantha) is a wonderful perennial featuring 2-3 whorls of vibrant, violet-purple, two-lipped flower spikes held above handsome mounds of soft, wrinkled, dark green leaves with scalloped edges. They bloom for a few weeks from late spring to mid-summer and always create an incredible show when massed!
