Helenium autumnale

Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale) is a native perennial wildflower known for its bright yellow, daisy-like blooms that appear from late summer into fall. This upright plant typically grows 3 to 5 feet tall and prefers moist soils, making it well-suited for rain gardens, wet meadows, and stream banks. Sneezeweed thrives in full sun but can tolerate light shade, and it requires consistent moisture to perform its best. Its showy flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, while its clumping growth habit makes it an excellent choice for naturalistic plantings.
