Helenium autumnale seed
LATIN NAME: HELENIUM AUTUMNALE
COMMON NAME: Sneezeweed
In the damp meadows and the stream banks of the east, the sneezeweed grows as a tall, clumping, perennial herb with the narrow, winged stems and the numerous, daisy-like flowers with their yellow ray petals and the prominent, domed, yellow or brown centres, opening in waves from the late summer into the autumn. It slowly becomes an upright, leafy clump, to about sixty centimetres. It does well in the sun and the damp, rich ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The sneezeweed appears in the studies of the late-flowering daisies of the east, its domed centres and its autumn waves keeping it in view in the work on the native meadow flowers and the pollinator plants of the late season. The research looks at the way the winged stems carry the flower heads, the domed centres ripen to the seed heads, and the seed biology of the light, pappus-tufted seeds.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
In the autumn border and the wild meadow, the sneezeweed lights the late season with the waves of yellow daisies that draw the bees and the butterflies before the frosts. The bold, upright clump stands the damp ground well, and the plant makes the fine late perennial, the pollinator plant and the plant of the moist, sunny garden. It is a plant for the sunny, damp, rich and open place.
To grow the Sneezeweed from seed, sow the fine seeds on the surface of moist, humus-rich soil.
Sow the fine seeds on the surface of moist, humus-rich soil, and keep the young sneezeweeds in the sunny, moist spot. The yellow daisies open with the late summer.
LATIN NAME: Helenium autumnale
COMMON NAME: Sneezeweed
The sneezeweed is a handsome, upright, branching, perennial plant of the moist meadows, and its fine, narrow, lance-shaped leaves and its many small, yellow or orange, daisy-like flowers with the prominent, rounded centres have made it a bright and valued plant of the late-summer garden. It grows as an upright, branching, perennial plant, reaching up to one and a half metres or more, with the upright, branching stems bearing the alternate, narrow, lance-shaped leaves and, through the late summer and the autumn, the many small, yellow or orange, daisy-like flowers with the prominent, rounded, yellow centres, followed by the small, dry, many-seeded heads. It is a species of the flowering plant in the daisy family, and it is native to the moist meadows of the North America, while it grows in the moist, sunny places, and it is known as the sneezeweed.
The sneezeweed belongs to the daisy family, Asteraceae, and it is a species of the upright, branching perennial, native to the moist meadows of the North America, while it grows in the moist, sunny places, and it is known as the sneezeweed. It is prized for its many small, yellow or orange, daisy-like flowers.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The sneezeweed has a real and distinguished place in the research. It has been studied in the horticulture, since its many small, yellow or orange, daisy-like flowers have made it a bright and valued plant of the late-summer garden, and researchers have examined its growth, its flowering and its cultivation, while its value as a late-summer plant has drawn attention in the international horticultural press as a plant of the autumn garden. The plant has also been studied in the chemistry of the natural products and the toxicology, since the aerial parts of the sneezeweed contain the potent sesquiterpene compounds, and researchers have examined the plant and its constituents with care, while the study of the potent compounds has drawn attention in the international botanical press, and the plant is best appreciated as a subject of study and a fine garden plant rather than a casual remedy. The species has also been studied in the ecology of the insects, since the many small, yellow or orange, daisy-like flowers of the sneezeweed are a fine source of the nectar for the bees and the butterflies of the late season, and researchers have examined the flowers and their value, while the study of the late-season nectar plants has been of continuing interest, and the sneezeweed is a fine friend of the autumn insects. For a plant of such bright value, the sneezeweed has a rich and continuing record of study.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
Ecologically, the sneezeweed is a generous plant of the garden. Its many small, yellow or orange, daisy-like flowers feed the bees and the butterflies of the late season, and its fine, upright, leafy stems give a bright, fine presence to the late-summer border and the moist garden.
Its economic value is real. The sneezeweed is prized for its many small, yellow or orange, daisy-like flowers, and its beauty has drawn attention in the international horticultural press as a plant of the autumn garden, while its fine, bright, late-season form has made it a treasured plant of the border and the wild garden. The aerial parts are best appreciated as a subject of study, and the sneezeweed is best grown as a bright garden plant. For a grower, the sneezeweed is an easy and rewarding plant, and for a gardener it brings a bright, yellow or orange, daisy-flowered plant to the late-summer garden. The seeds are easy to start — press them gently into the surface of moist, free-draining soil, keep them lightly watered, and theyll be sprouting readily, growing on into a bright, yellow or orange, daisy-flowered plant.
