Helenium 'Rauchtopaz' - 2026

Helenium 'Rauchtopaz' is a hardy perennial admired for its warm orange daisy-like flowers with reddish-brown centres that bloom from midsummer into autumn, providing a long-lasting and striking display. The upright blooms rise above clumps of bright green foliage, adding structure, texture, and late-season colour to borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial plantings. Its flowers attract bees and butterflies, enhancing both ornamental and ecological value.

Thriving in full sun with moist, fertile, well-drained soil, Helenium 'Rauchtopaz' is low-maintenance and easy to grow. Deadheading spent flowers encourages prolonged flowering, while cutting back in spring maintains compact and healthy growth. Hardy and resilient, this cultivar delivers bold late-summer to autumn colour and pairs well with ornamental grasses or other late-flowering perennials.
