Helenium ‘Waltraut’, a cultivated form of sneezeweed, is a robust, clump-forming deciduous perennial valued for its vibrant late-summer colour display. Typically growing with an upright, branching habit, it bears lance-shaped green leaves and masses of daisy-like flowers from late summer into autumn. The blooms are notable for their warm amber, copper, and orange tones, each centered with a raised brown cone that attracts pollinators. Helenium ‘Waltraut’ is commonly used in perennial borders, prairie-style plantings, and pollinator gardens, providing strong seasonal colour and structural height.
