Helenium autumnale ‘Salsa’ Mariachi™

Description

This compact beauty delivers weeks of zesty color from midsummer into fall. Flowers are bold red around a brown cone.
Good branching habit, strong stems, excellent mildew resistance and terrific for cutting.

The boldly colored blooms of Helenium are especially valuable late summer into fall, when few perennials are at their peak. Try pairing with the blue spikes of Perovskia for a stunning display.

Full sun and an organic-rich, well-drained soil are best; satisfy these requirements and the sturdy plants will brighten a border, meadow, or wild garden. Responds well to a quick trim in spring for promoting even more branching and flowers. Divide every few years in spring or after bloom in fall to keep vigorous.
