A great fall bloomer that brightens the garden with its rich red and orange flowers when everything else starts to fade; adapts to most soils; regular watering needed
9 in stock
Mariachi Salsa Sneezeweed has masses of beautiful red daisy flowers with orange overtones, dark brown eyes and a gold ring at the ends of the stems from late summer to mid fall, which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its pointy leaves remain green in color throughout the season.
It is an herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition. This plant will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and should be cut back in late fall in preparation for winter. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats.
