Sneezeweed Plant

Native to our area. Sneezeweed gets its name from its historical use as a medicinal snuff, yes that’s right people would SNORT the dried plant to relieve headaches and colds. Thankfully we ( and our local pollinators) can enjoy Sneezeweed as a late summer bloomer bringing color to our beds after the main summer bloom has ended.  The edges of the flower petals are quite frilly and the flowers themselves act as an important late summer forage for many beneficial and native  insects.
