Enjoy stunning seasonal color from summer into fall with the SALUD™ Embers Sneeze Weed or Helenium autumnale. Large daisy-like flowers have a golden-brown cone that adds texture and is surrounded by reddish-orange petals with sunny yellow tips. The petals have an ombre fade that adds even more visual interest to these already intriguing blooms. Medium-green, lance-shaped foliage gives the plant a full and attractive form, even out of bloom.
Use this heat-tolerant perennial in beds, borders, mixed plantings, and containers. While the large, colorful blooms look lovely and lively in a landscape, trim the stems to display these beauties indoors. The long-lasting flowers make a bold solo arrangement or add color to a mix of seasonal blooms. The flowers of the SALUD™ Embers Sneeze Weed attract pollinators, but are largely resistant to deer and rabbits. Grow this sneezeweed in zones 4 through 9.
SALUD™ Embers Sneeze Weed Care
Plant the sun-loving SALUD™ Embers Sneeze Weed in an area that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight. Plant sneezeweed in average-to-fertile soil that is moist and well drained. These plants prefer consistent moisture, so water weekly and apply a thick layer of organic mulch to retain soil moisture. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring.
Remove spent flowers and cut back leggy growth by early to mid-summer to create a bushy and dense plant. Cut back no more than one-third of the growth at a time.
SALUD™ Embers Sneeze Weed Spacing
SALUD™ Embers Sneeze Weed reaches 14 to 16 inches tall and 12 to 14 inches wide. Leave 14 to 16 inches between plants when creating a continuous or mass planting.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
