'Arizona Sandstone' is a new compact hybrid form of hummingbird mint. Extensive trials have been undertaken in the arid climates of western USA before the release of 'Arizona Sandstone'. Due to its size (25 x 25cm) it is extremely useful in containers or tubs as well as mass planted in raised garden beds. The burnt orange terracotta tubular flowers cover the green grey foliage throughout late Summer and Autumn. 'Arizona Sandstone' doesn't like poorly drained soils or wet cold Winters.

Through the extreme heat and drought conditions of last Summer this Helenium grew well in our clay based composted growing beds with no irrigation. The resulting mass of stunning flowers ablaze in burgundy red and mahogany were soothing to our soul. Synonymous with 'Dark Beauty' it grows to 80cm x 60cm wide and tolerates most soil types except asphyxiating clays. Does best in full sun with good Winter drainage. The addition of organic matter to the soil will encourage growth and larger flower heads.
