More Information

Description 'Moerheim Beauty' helenium boasts colorful flowers that are a feast for the eye and, more importantly, pollinators! Orange, red, and bronze flowers burst into bloom in summer and fall. Its bloom time is crucial, supplying local pollinators with plenty of nectar and pollen as other perennials start to fade in the heat of late summer. While the petals are vibrant enough on their own to attract pollinators, this perennial positions its pollen front and center to draw in butterflies and bees. Its chocolate-brown center is smothered in golden pollen, resembling an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Despite being known as sneezeweed, helenium is pollinated by butterflies and bees instead of wind. Thanks to these native pollinators, sneezeweed shouldn't trigger any pollen-related sneezing or other allergy symptoms unless you sniff it up close. Native to North America, helenium grows best in moist meadows, alongside ponds, or in other damp sites in the garden. It's deer resistant, pollinator-friendly, and easy to grow for gardeners of any level!

'Moerheim Beauty' Sneezeweed

Plants were exceptionally well packaged and shipped and received within a couple of days. 'Moerheim Beauty' Sneezeweed Is a great plant for late summer/fall. They had been cut back but they’re blooming already! Excellent service

Super fast delivery & plants in great shape

I ordered one for a client (and two for myself - ha!) initially, and decided I needed more to scatter around my meadow garden areas for that unique color pop that should go for most of the season. Can’t wait to see if we get any blooms this year, and especially how they do as they mature! The second shipment arrived as quickly as the first, and everything was well-packaged and arrived safely.
