With golden-yellow, daisy-like blooms and sturdy branching, Sneezeweed produces striking color in late summer through fall—making it a perfect finale for pollinator-rich gardens. Standing between 3–5 feet tall, it thrives in moist landscapes.
Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale)
•A pollinator magnet that blooms when many other plants are fading—valuable for bees, butterflies, wasps, and flies.

•Serves as a host plant for species like the Dainty Sulphur and Painted Lady butterflies.

•Typically avoided by deer and rabbits due to its bitter, toxic foliage—perfect for wildlife gardens.
•Light: Full sun to partial shade; more sun encourages stronger blooms.

•Soil: Prefers moist to medium-wet soils—great in rain gardens, stream edges, and moist meadows.

•Bloom Time: Prolonged display from late summer into fall (July–October).

•Height: Grows 3–5 ft tall and 2–3 ft wide, often forming clumping drifts.

•Care Notes: Pinching in spring enhances branching; division or seed collection every few years helps maintain vigor.
