Each pack contains approximately 240 seeds and provides coverage for about 4.8 square feet.

Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale) 
Cheerful yellow flowers that brighten your garden and feed late-season pollinators. (Fun Fact: The name “Sneezeweed” comes from its historical use in making snuff, not its connection to allergies!) Each pack contains approximately 7,000 seeds and provides coverage for about 28 square feet.
