Helenium (Sneezeweeds)

Helenium, commonly known as sneezeweed, brings vibrant colour to gardens from late summer into autumn. Its daisy-like flowers, often in shades of yellow, orange, and red, provide a rich nectar source for pollinators. Bees, butterflies, and hoverflies frequent these blooms, helping sustain local ecosystems.

The plant thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers full sun. Helenium suits cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, and borders. Its upright habit adds structure, while its late flowering period extends wildlife support when other plants fade. Birds may also feed on its seeds during colder months.
