Salud Embers Sneezeweed arrives as a live 4-inch plant and burns late — ember-red and orange rays around a domed brown-and-yellow center, carried on compact upright stems over green foliage. Helenium autumnale at a size that never needs a stake.

Its whole job is the back half of the season. Plant it where August tends to go quiet, among grasses and other prairie-style perennials, and it keeps color running into fall while pollinators work the domed centers. Stems cut well for the house, and deadheading through summer buys you more of them. Full sun and steady, well-drained moisture are the two things it asks for.

Fun fact: the name is a slander. Helenium pollen is heavy and insect-carried rather than airborne — the sneezing traces to an old habit of drying the leaves and grinding them into snuff.

It ships rooted and ready, and it is guaranteed to arrive healthy.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
