Site Selection

Planting Instructions

Follow these steps for successful planting:

• Dig a hole twice the width and the same depth as the root ball.

• Place the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
• Backfill gently and firm lightly.
• Water thoroughly after planting to help Helenium ‘Sahins Early Flowerer’ establish quickly.

Watering Requirements

Feeding

Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to encourage strong growth and flowering. In addition, a light supplementary feed during the growing season will help maintain vigour and produce abundant blooms.

Pruning

Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage continued flowering and keep the plant tidy. Cutting back tired stems will help Helenium ‘Sahins Early Flowerer’ maintain a neat shape and promote fresh growth.

Mulching

Apply a layer of organic mulch in spring to retain moisture and improve soil quality. This will also help maintain consistent conditions.

Supporting the Plant

This taller variety may benefit from light staking in exposed areas, although it generally has a sturdy, upright habit.
