Sneezeweed, scientifically known as Helenium, is a striking wildflower found across North America. These vibrant, daisy-like flowers typically come in shades of yellow, orange, or red and often feature a dark center, creating a visually appealing contrast. Despite the whimsical name, Sneezeweed does not induce sneezing; it earned its name from a historical use of its dried leaves in making snuff. These hardy perennials are popular in gardens and are a valuable addition for attracting pollinators, such as bees and butterflies. Their long-lasting blooms and tolerance to various growing conditions make Sneezeweed a favorite among garden enthusiasts.
