Siesta Dwarf Helenium

Siesta Dwarf Helenium

Specially bred with borders and bees in mind.

Compact and colourful, this pretty perennial was developed to fit into smaller spaces, such as borders and patio pots. Reddish-orange, daisylike, 2" blooms feature a chocolate-brown halo, and lure pollinators to the garden in droves with their late-season pollen and nectar. Plants grow quickly and reliably over an extended season. Siesta's flowers are excellent for cutting.

Important Shipping Notes:

Breck's times its shipments from Holland so that bulbs and bareroots arrive at the proper planting time (depending on climatic conditions) for each area of North America. To promote optimum stress protection in transit and your success in the garden, bareroot perennials are kept in the ground in our nurseries until fully dormant. In the Fall, these plants tend to arrive at the later end of the shipping window below.

We will pack and ship your order based on the following schedules. The type of product you order or the weather may affect the anticipated shipping schedule below. Based on the contents of your order we always strive to ship your order complete, and as early as possible in the planting season to allow for the best root development once planted.
