Commonly called Mountain Helenium, Orange Sneezeweed or Owl's Claws, this Helenium Hoopesii grows from a taproot, so propagation from flower seeds is recommended. Orange Sneezeweed is an erect, clump-forming perennial with basal rosettes of lance-shaped, grey-green leaves that gradually become smaller toward the stem tops. It is a good flower to have in the cutting garden with its branched clusters of rich golden colored flowers which bloom in early summer.

Mountain Helenium grows approximately 28 - 30 inches tall with daisy-like flowers that measure 3 inches across. Helenium Hoopesii is native to wet meadows, high elevations, and the Sierra Nevada area. It needs full sun to partial shade to do well with consistent moisture.
