Name: Sneezeweed (Helenium spp. and cvs.)
Zones: 4 to 8
Size: 2 to 5 feet tall and 2 feet wide
Condition: Full sun; moist, well-drained soil
Peak Time: Midsummer to midfall
While its foliage might be a bit nondescript in spring and summer, sneezeweed make
up for it later when its yellow, orange, and red blooms are the definition of fall. Countless
Cultivars are available, but one of the most popular is Moertheim Beauty'(pictured), with
its coppery blooms that last for up to 10 weeks. If you give sneezeweed rich soil, it tends
to flop and need staking, so put it in spot that isn't too fertile.
