Helenium 'Mardi Gras'

Delivering a carnival of fiery colour from Summer to Autumn, Helenium 'Mardi Gras' sets the garden ablaze with glowing shades of orange, gold and amber-red. This perennial is topped with daisy-like blooms, each surrounding a chocolate-brown central cone that adds warmth to the display. Over a long period, it brings movement, energy and late-summer brilliance to borders, prairie-style plantings and wildlife-friendly gardens.

Hardy and reliable, Helenium 'Mardi Gras' thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soil, where it quickly establishes into a strong presence. Maintenance is moderate, benefiting from regular watering in dry spells, deadheading to prolong flowering, and cutting back in autumn once growth has faded. It pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses such as Calamagrostis for height and texture, purple-flowered Aster for complementary late-season colour, or Rudbeckia to intensify the warm, glowing palette. Bold, long-flowering and pollinator-friendly, this is an outstanding choice for gardeners seeking colour and lasting impact through the height of summer and beyond.

Supplied in approx. 1 litre container.
