Helenium

Helenium is a genus of flowering plants that belongs to the family Asteraceae. They are commonly known as "sneezeweed" because some species were once used to make snuff, which could cause sneezing. Helenium plants are native to North and South America, and are now grown in many other parts of the world as ornamental plants.

Helenium plants have tall, upright stems that can reach up to five feet in height. The flowers are typically yellow, orange, or red, and have five petals that can be flat or ruffled. The foliage of Helenium plants is often green and lance-shaped, and can be quite large.
