What is Helenium?

Answer 1

Helenium, commonly known as sneezeweed, is a genus of flowering plants in the Asteraceae family. Native to North America, it features vibrant, daisy-like blooms in shades of yellow, orange, and red, typically blooming in late summer to early fall. Helenium is often used in gardens for its attractive flowers and ability to attract pollinators. Some species may be toxic if ingested, hence the common name "sneezeweed."
