Common sneezeweed
Helenium autumnale
Common sneezeweed is a showy, late-season native perennial that produces a spectacular display of yellow, orange, or red daisy-like flowers from late summer through fall. It prefers moist, fertile soil and full sun to partial shade, and benefits from being divided every few years to maintain vigor. A wonderful choice for pollinator gardens and naturalistic borders, it provides vital nectar for bees and butterflies when few other plants are blooming.
