Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale)

From $6.00

I'm a native of New York state and Tompkins County, NY.

I attract butterflies and bees

I like to form clumps

I have a reputation for causing allergies, but my pollen is sticky so very hard to inhale. It’s likely ragweed that’s making you sneeze in the fall.
