Description
Sneezeweed, also known as Helen’s Flower or Fall Helenium, is a vibrant perennial that adds late-season color to your Massachusetts garden. Blooming from late summer to mid-fall, its brilliant yellow flowers with gold centers create a stunning display when many other plants are beginning to fade. This upright, spreading plant reaches about 3 feet in height with flower stalks extending up to 4 feet, making it a striking addition to borders and garden beds. Sneezeweed thrives in full sun and prefers moist to wet soils, making it a great choice for areas that may have standing water.
Sneezeweed is not only attractive to butterflies but also low-maintenance, requiring only occasional pruning in late fall. It is deer-resistant and can be easily grown in containers or mass plantings. While the flower stalks may need staking in exposed areas or rich soils, Sneezeweed’s fast growth and adaptability make it a perfect late-season bloom for your garden. Whether used in garden beds or as a striking focal point in pots, Sneezeweed brings lasting beauty and wildlife-friendly appeal to your landscape.
