Helenium Mariachi ‘Salsa’ is an amazing perennial for late summer and fall gardens. Its bright, bold red and orange petals take center stage when the rest of the garden is winding down. Grows best in full sun in moist soils. Hardy in zones 3-9. Water regularly at the time of planting and during any significant period of drought. It will tolerate wet feet, so long as it isn’t sitting in standing water for extended periods of time. After the first flush of flowers fade, cut plant back by half to encourage a repeat bloom. Great for use as a cut flower.
Mariachi ‘Salsa’ was featured as an honorable mention in a Mt Cuba Center Trial Garden Research Report. These reports evaluate native plants and related cultivars for horticultural and ecological value, highlighting the ecosystem services they provide.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge.
