Helenium MARIACHI ‘Salsa’ (Helen’s flower, sneezeweed)
Helenium MARIACHI ‘Salsa’
A bold compact selection of our native Helenium autumnale, ‘Salsa’s’ vibrant red daisy-like flowers with orange highlights surrounding a chocolate brown center provide a late season lure for bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. ‘Salsa’ adapts to most soil types, is mildew resistant, and the flowers are excellent for cutting. Growing 18” – 20”, ‘Salsa’ is great for the front or middle of a sunny border alongside goldenrod, Rudbeckia and ornamental grasses.
