Helenium autumnale 'Mariachi Fuego' - 2026

Helenium autumnale 'Mariachi Fuego' is a compact perennial prized for its fiery orange blooms with rich red undertones and golden central discs. Flowering from midsummer into autumn, it brings a warm, glowing display that enlivens borders and mixed perennial plantings. The daisy-like flowers are borne in profusion on upright stems, making it a reliable choice for adding late-season colour and energy to the garden. Attractive to bees and butterflies, it also supports biodiversity while providing ornamental appeal.

Thriving in full sun with moist, fertile, well-drained soil, Helenium autumnale 'Mariachi Fuego' is easy to grow and low-maintenance. Removing spent blooms encourages continued flowering, while cutting the plant back in spring helps maintain a neat, compact form. Hardy and resilient, it delivers long-lasting seasonal interest and pairs beautifully with grasses or other late-flowering perennials.
