Description
Helenium 'Mardi Gras' is a bold and vibrant perennial that brings energy and flair to your summer garden. Its daisy-like flowers showcase a stunning mix of golden yellow, rich orange, and deep red hues, each petal streaked with flame-like markings that create a dynamic, lively display. The dark chocolate-brown cones at the center of each bloom add an extra layer of depth, making 'Mardi Gras' a true showstopper.
Standing at a height of 80–100 cm, Helenium 'Mardi Gras' adds height and structure to borders with its lance-shaped green foliage, forming a sturdy, upright clump that serves as a perfect backdrop to the bold blooms. Flowering from mid to late summer, it fills the garden with vibrant colour when many other perennials are beginning to fade, ensuring a continuous display of warmth and energy.
One of the key features of 'Mardi Gras' is its prolific flowering habit, with each plant producing a generous amount of blooms over several weeks, creating a continuous burst of colour. A favourite of bees and butterflies, this variety is an essential addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. Furthermore, 'Mardi Gras' is naturally resistant to mildew, keeping its foliage healthy throughout the season.
Versatile in its growing conditions, this variety thrives in a range of well-drained soils, including clay types, and its flowers hold their shape and colour beautifully in cut arrangements, allowing you to bring the garden's warmth indoors.
