Helenium autumnale Mariachi™ 'Bandera' PP27397

Sneezeweed

This compact series of Helenium is ideal for summer-fall sales as it comes into full bloom as summer days begin to wane. Despite its common name, it does not cause allergies; the pollen is transmitted by native bees and butterflies, not by wind. Its brick red flowers with a golden halo fit perfectly in fall gardens and displays. Introduced by: Plants Nouveau.
