Helenium 'Ruby Tuesday'

Sneezeweed

Very floriferous, compact fall bloomer brightens the garden when everything else starts to fade. Beautiful ruby red daisy-like blooms with a brown center that eventually fades to gold appear late summer into fall. One of the best native selections.

Family: Asteraceae · Common Name: Common Sneezeweed

Vibrant daisy flowers in shades of red, bronze or yellow grace upright, branching plants, August to September. Stake plants for support or pinch early in the growing season to produce shorter plants. Attracts butterflies and is an excellent cut flower.
