Helenium (a.k.a. Sneezeweed)

Here is a link to my column in today's edition of The Spokesman-Review: Low-water wonders. The topic is drought-tolerant plants, which I felt would be of interest to anyone who has been dealing with the heat and drought of this summer.

It's always a good idea to use drought-tolerant plants in our landscapes in order to conserve water. Oftentimes, when gardeners hear the words "drought-tolerant," they think that limits their options or that the plants won't be very attractive. Fortunately, that's not the case at all!

I've included photos of the various plants I mentioned in my article below. The photo above is of another plant I didn't have room for. Helenium, more commonly known as Sneezeweed (not the greatest name, I'll admit!) blooms like crazy and really can take the heat.

I hope you will find this column interesting and useful as you choose plants for your garden.
