Sneezeweed
Sneezeweed is a tall, upright perennial flower with sturdy stems. It blooms in late summer to early fall. The flowers come in a variety of colors, mostly yellow, orange and red. The green leaves are lance-shaped and borne the length of the branched, winged stems.
Sneezeweed is a good choice for a taller, late-blooming flower for the Pikes Peak region, provided it will get regular moisture.
