Perennial, Zones 3-10. Offered in the past as Sneezeweed Supposedly used for snuff in earlier times, hence the sneeze. Also known as Sunny Bride.

Single flowers resemble Coreopsis but have a large center “button” like coneflower, and cover the tops of branching upright 4–5' plants. Makes great late-season color. Not fussy, easy to grow, excellent for cutting. At its prime when most perennials have finished blooming. Generally a low germinator; needs 2–3 weeks. ~5,000 seeds/g.
