HayDay™ Yellow Helenium

HayDay™ Yellow is a compact sneezeweed in the Helenium autumnale HayDay™ series, selected for bright yellow flowers and a dense, branching form. Syngenta lists a mounding, upright habit, 14–18 inch height and spread, full sun, and USDA zones 5–9; the series flowers continuously from summer through fall. [Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70075280) ## Garden Use Use the tidy clump near the front or middle of a sunny perennial border, or in a large container where its yellow flowers can carry color into fall. Its repeated blooms also suit prairie-inspired plantings, and the breeder identifies the series as pollinator friendly. ## Growing Conditions Choose full sun and fertile soil that stays evenly moist but drains well. Water during dry spells, especially while plants establish, because sneezeweed foliage can decline when plants dry out. Allow 14–18 inches for mature plants. ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers to keep the display neat and encourage continued bloom. Cut back old stems in early spring as new growth begins.
