Helenium autumnale - A Vibrant and Long-Blooming Perennial
Helenium autumnale, commonly known as Common Sneezeweed, is a vibrant and long-blooming perennial that brings a splash of bright yellow to the garden from late summer through autumn. Known for its daisy-like flowers and prominent central cones, this plant is perfect for borders, wildlife gardens, and cutting gardens. Helenium autumnale adds both beauty and ecological value to various garden settings.
The standout feature of Helenium autumnale is its bright yellow flowers. Blooming from late summer to autumn, these daisy-like blooms with their prominent central cones create a striking display that attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The flowers rise above the green, lance-shaped foliage, adding height and a burst of colour to the garden. The long blooming period ensures that Helenium autumnale provides continuous interest throughout the late growing season.
Caring for Helenium autumnale is straightforward, making it suitable for gardeners of all experience levels. Plant Common Sneezeweed in well-drained, fertile soil and ensure it receives plenty of sunlight, as it thrives best in full sun. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. To encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance, deadhead spent flowers regularly. In late autumn, cut back the stems to ground level to prepare the plant for winter. With its low maintenance needs and vibrant yellow flowers, Helenium autumnale is a wonderful addition to any garden, providing long-lasting colour and attracting beneficial pollinators.
