Salsa Sneezeweed is an erect clumping native perennial with rigid winged stems that branch at the tops and lance-shaped leaves. Clusters of bold deep red flowers resembling daisies with distinctive wedge-shaped petals and dark prominent center disks bloom from late summer until the first frost. Grows best in full sun and medium to wet well drained soils.
