{"product_id":"sneezeweed-helenium-autumnale","title":"Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSneezeweed is a vibrant and essential late-season wildflower that lights up the autumn landscape with a profusion of golden-yellow blooms. Despite its unfortunate common name—derived from the historical use of its dried leaves to make snuff—it is not a cause of hay fever, as its heavy pollen is moved by insects rather than the wind. This upright perennial typically grows 3 to 5 feet tall and features unique winged stems and daisy-like flowers with distinctive, wedge-shaped petals that are notched at the tips. Native to moist prairies and stream banks across North America, it thrives in full sun and wet to medium-wet soils. Sneezeweed is a pollinator powerhouse, providing a critical nectar source for bees and butterflies during the late summer and fall. It is a fantastic choice for rain gardens, butterfly gardens, or back-of-the-border plantings. To encourage a bushier habit and more flowers, the stems can be pinched back in early summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–5 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full to Partial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil moisture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wet to Medium-Wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aug–Oct (Yellow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to 48 states, including Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/database.hokseynativeseeds.com\/species\/helenium-autumnale\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee the full growing guide and county range map for Sneezeweed\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoksey Native Seeds","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":50926637744325,"sku":null,"price":24.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":50926637777093,"sku":null,"price":96.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 lb","offer_id":50926637809861,"sku":null,"price":187.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":50926637842629,"sku":null,"price":365.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/6567\/1365\/files\/images_1.jpg?v=1793729500","url":"https:\/\/hokseynativeseeds.com\/products\/sneezeweed-helenium-autumnale","provider":"Hoksey Native Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
