Helenium ‘Red Bicolor’ is a stunning perennial known for its vibrant red and yellow flowers, making it a standout addition to UK gardens. Growing to a height of about 90-120 cm, it forms robust clumps of upright stems adorned with daisy-like blooms from midsummer through to early autumn. These striking flowers feature deep red petals with yellow tips around a prominent central cone, creating a fiery and eye-catching display in borders or cottage gardens.

This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, though it can tolerate some light shade. ‘Red Bicolor’ is relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning. Deadheading spent flowers throughout the blooming season encourages continuous flowering and maintains a tidy appearance.

Feed ‘Red Bicolor’ with a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and prolific flowering throughout the season. Its nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. By planting ‘Red Bicolor’, you not only enhance your garden with its bold and colorful blooms but also provide essential food sources for pollinators, supporting biodiversity and ecological balance in your outdoor space. This makes it a perfect choice for gardeners looking to create a vibrant and pollinator-friendly garden environment.
