For optimal growth, plant Helenium ‘Strawberry Sundae’ in a sunny position where it can receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and benefits from regular watering, especially during dry spells, to maintain healthy, vibrant blooms.

Feed Helenium ‘Strawberry Sundae’ with a balanced, all-purpose fertiliser in early spring as new growth appears.
