Helenium autumnale (Dogtooth/Sneezeweed wildflower)

Helenium autumnale, commonly known as Dogtooth or Sneezeweed, is a hardy wildflower native to North America. It is a perennial plant that can reach a height of 4-5 feet. The plant produces beautiful yellow or orange flowers in late summer and fall, attracting butterflies and bees. Despite its name, Dogtooth does not have tooth-shaped leaves, but rather lanceolate leaves that are slightly serrated. It thrives in moist soil and full sun, making it a great addition to wildflower gardens or natural meadows.
