Helenium Autumnale Mariachi™ 'Fuego'

With Helenium autumnale Mariachi™ 'Fuego,' bicolor blooms mixing fiery shades of orange, red, and yellow arrive in abundance on a compact, free-flowering plant that’s sized for the edge of the border. We like these rich colors in late-summer plantings that include the blue spikes of Perovskia and the frothy white blooms of Calamintha nepeta nepeta. PP 25,977

The boldly colored blooms of Helenium are especially valuable late summer into fall, when few perennials are at their peak. 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. Superb cut flowers.
