Sneeze Weed



Helenium autumnale, known as sneeze weed, sneezewort, or the swamp sunflower, is a native Minnesota plant that grows 2 to 5 feet tall. This perennial comes in many bright colors and is distinctive for it's large center disc.

As the 'swamp sunflower' moniker implies, sneeze weed grows well in swamps and moist fields, as well as along shores. It prefers to grow in sunny areas.

24 sneeze weeds have been planted in TCA's rain garden.
