I ordered these in February. Received 4-24 and planted 4-25. As of 5-22, none of them have shown any sign of growth. Planting location was well marked.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Q
Can red jewel be divided and are they a cone flower?
Asked by Robby D
Verified Reply - AngelaYou can divide your Helenium Red Jewel Plants every 3-5 years. They are not coneflowers. Coneflowers have the botanical name Echinacea. Like Coneflowers, they are native and great for late season color. Was this answer helpful to you
