‘Lemon Queen’, for example, produces gorgeous creamy-yellow blooms in late summer and early fall.
And despite its common name of sneezeweed, it won’t aggravate your allergies.
Clusters of these unique flowers appear around August and keep going until freezing weather sets in.

This perennial likes damp soil, so it makes a good choice near water gardens or in bog gardens.
It has downy white stems, gray-green willowy leaves, and spikes of pinkish purpleflowers that attract hummingbirds.
It’s especially great for brightening up a shady garden when most other plants are winding down for winter.
