Helenium Autumnale ‘Fuego’ (PBR) (Mariachi Series)

If you like fiery colours, then you will love this. It is a relatively new form and as it grows, it creates a compact clump that is topped from late summer with masses of flowerheads. These are incredibly showy, and made up of yellow-based, orange-red ray-florets (the things that look like petals) and a central boss of disc florets that change from brown to yellow as the head matures. It will add unbeatable colour late in the season and keep the display in the border looking great well into autumn.
