Common Sneezeweed is a tall native wildflower of moist meadows and stream corridors, producing masses of yellow-orange flowers with distinctive ball-shaped centers in late summer and fall. The dried leaves were ground into snuff to induce sneezing for medicinal purposes. Many specialist bees and butterflies rely on it as a late-season nectar source.
