About this plant

Helenium ‘Salsa’ is a dwarf Helen’s Flower that produces deep red flowers in full to part sun locations. Blooming from mid-summer into fall, this compact variety delivers intense color in a space-efficient size ideal for smaller gardens and container combinations. The rich red blooms with their characteristic reflexed petals attract butterflies and provide excellent cut flowers. Gorham gardeners find this variety particularly useful for adding bold late-season color without overwhelming tight planting spaces.
