Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Thrives in a fertile, moist soil, in full sun. To maintain compact habit and more flower count, it is recommended to prune helenium back to half by mid-June. Staking may be required if planted in shadier sites. Divide every 2-3 years to maintain flower production.

Additional Notes about Sneezeweed:

This cultivar is named after Loysder (the home town of the breeder) and "wieck" (the Dutch word for a windmill's blade) describing the shape of the flowers.
