Sneezeweed gets its common name from the historical use of its dried leaves in snuff preparations. However, it is not generally grown to cause sneezing. Avoid using the plant as a home remedy or inhaling its dried plant material.
Helenium autumnale typically blooms from late summer into fall. Its bright yellow, orange, and reddish flowers provide seasonal color when many other garden plants begin finishing their flowering period.
Grow Sneezeweed in a sunny location with fertile, moisture-retentive soil. Water regularly to prevent excessive drying, especially during warm weather. Good drainage is still important to prevent prolonged waterlogging around the roots.
