Helenium autumnale 'Mariachi Salsa' - 2026

Helenium autumnale 'Mariachi Salsa' is a hardy perennial admired for its vivid red flowers with golden yellow centres that bloom from midsummer into autumn, creating a striking and long-lasting display. The daisy-like blooms are carried on upright stems above clumps of green foliage, adding structure, colour, and texture to borders, mixed plantings, or late-season garden displays. Its flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing both ornamental and ecological value.

Thriving in full sun with moist, fertile, well-drained soil, Helenium autumnale 'Mariachi Salsa' is low-maintenance and easy to grow. Deadheading encourages prolonged flowering, and cutting back in spring maintains a compact form and healthy growth. Hardy and resilient, this cultivar provides reliable late-summer to autumn colour and pairs well with ornamental grasses or other perennials.
