Plant with confidence, the Sneezeweed name does not hold true for this plant. It does, however, produce a beautiful yellow bloom that has a distinct round center.

Sneezeweed is also known as Helen's flower, based on the legend that the flowers grew in place of Helen of Troy's tears that touched the ground.

Either way you say it, this perennial prefers full sun and moister soils and will get about 3 to 6 feet.
