Sneezeweed

My sneezeweed has been coming into bloom for a couple of weeks now.

I count at least 7 tiny bees in this photo.

You can understand why its Latin name is Helenium autumnale. Most of my other flowers are done blooming for the year.  Next year I plan to plant a lot more sneezeweed throughout my “meadow” garden so there will be  more late summer color and nectar source for the tiny solitary bees.

  1. Robin, those are so pretty! I had some common sneezeweed (Helenium flexuosum) that bloomed in July, but they were in my hot front garden and may not have survived the summer—time will tell!
