Help identifying helenium variety

At the end of a recent episode there’s a photo of a helenium, which I’ve attached here. Can anyone help me identify the name? Thank you

    Possibly Sahin's Early ?

    Looks as if it has a filter on it?

    Yeh- looks odd Mark...
    Did you mean G's World santora? It might be the usual one -  Moerheim Beauty -  which is very popular. I think Monty has that one anyway.  :)
    Some of them are quite similar in colour - they might be different in height though.Is it a specific one you want? The ones Anni and  I mentioned are readily available. MB is quite orangey/rusty and S's Early is a bit yellower.
    This my M.Beauty - it gets to about 3 feet here - mine are still quite young plants though.

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Hi, if you click on the gardeners’ world.com icon at the top then search for Heleniums, two videos will come up, the first shows Monty planting both Moerheim Beauty and Sahin’s Early Flowerer - your pic looks more like Sahins to me, more yellowish orange rather than orangey brown, but perhaps the video might help you ID it?

  • Thank you! Very helpful. 

    It does look a bit filtered, but when uploading the screen capture to the forum even more so.

    Do the heleniums mentioned here go through a pastel-color phase?

    The episode I'm referencing is Gardner's World, Episode 16, 2018 (just as the credits are rolling).

    No - they can change colour a bit as they mature or fade away, and depending on the location [ like many plants ] but they wouldn't be pastel, as such.  :)
