About This Plant
Purple sneezeweed produces attractive yellow flowers and can be differentiated from other sneezeweeds by its center disk, which has a purplish hue. It can grow aggressively in disturbed areas but makes a good addition to a cut flower garden or pollinator garden. Its nectar attracts many different kinds of pollinators, especially Lepidoptera.
