Common Sneezeweed 1 Live Plant – Helenium autumnale – 1 Gallon Pot

Common Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale) is a North American native herbaceous perennial admired for its cheerful golden-yellow flowers and late-season garden color. Its daisy-like blooms feature bright yellow ray florets surrounding prominent, rounded yellow-to-brown central disks. The flower petals often angle downward, giving each bloom a distinctive appearance.

This upright, clump-forming perennial typically flowers from late summer into fall, providing nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Its green, lance-shaped leaves grow along sturdy, branching stems, making it an attractive addition to native plant gardens, pollinator borders, meadow-style landscapes, and rain gardens.

Supplied as one live Common Sneezeweed in a 1 gallon nursery pot, this perennial generally performs best in full sun and consistently moist, fertile soil. It is particularly well suited to areas with reliable moisture, including rain gardens, pond margins, and naturally damp landscape beds.

Despite its common name, Common Sneezeweed is primarily valued as an ornamental flowering plant. It is not intended for medicinal or culinary use.
