Description
Like a sparkler for your summer garden, Mariachi™ Fuego Helenium brings dazzling, bicolor blooms in hot red and gold tones from midsummer through fall. This fiery perennial doesn’t just show off—it supports pollinators with nectar-rich flowers and native roots.
At just under 2 feet tall, its bushy habit and consistent bloom performance make it a natural fit for patios, sunny borders, and pollinator patches. The plant’s upright stems are strong enough for cut bouquets and tough enough to resist deer and drought.
With compact vigor and nonstop color, this garden gem offers a high-impact display with low effort. Let it sizzle alongside other natives or star as a standalone burst of brilliance.
