New to gardening here and I think there was an error when I first attempted to post. The way the forum is laid out, I can't seem to verify. Also, I didn't see a category for Helenium, so it seems this will go to "Off Topic"?!?

Ok, so I'll be receiving helenium seeds and want to plant them outdoors. I was told I can grow it this way. I just wasn't told how. So, how to do, good folks?

I have a varying levels of sun/shade and soils.

kind regards,

Jim

Jim, you have posted in the conversations part of the Perennial forum, space for things discussed that do not pertain to gardening. You aren't being ignored, just not seen.

The regular Perennials forum (reached by clicking on Return to Perennials above) or even Growing from Seed would have been better choices.

Helenium grows best in full sun. There are many types, grown as both annuals or perennials, but neither need stratifying (period of moist chill) before they will germinate. Seeds will do best surface sown or just barely covered, some light may be beneficial to germination. Keep seed bed moist. At temps averaging approx 70 F, Helenium seed germinates in 10-21 days.
