Helenium bigelovii ‘The Bishop’ is a hardy perennial prized for its striking yellow daisy-like flowers with subtle red accents around the central discs that bloom from midsummer into autumn, creating a vibrant and long-lasting display. The upright blooms rise above clumps of green foliage, adding structure, height, and seasonal colour to borders, mixed plantings, and cottage gardens. Its flowers attract bees and butterflies, enhancing both ornamental and ecological value.
Thriving in full sun with moist, fertile, well-drained soil, Helenium bigelovii ‘The Bishop’ is low-maintenance and easy to grow. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continued bloom, while cutting back in spring helps maintain compact, healthy growth. Hardy and resilient, this cultivar delivers bright late-summer to autumn colour and pairs well with ornamental grasses or other late-flowering perennials.
