Autumn Beauty Sunflower (Helianthus annuus)

 

The "Autumn Beauty" name comes from the flower's beautiful fall colors! This ornamental sunflower produces flowers 5 to 10 inches in diameter, with dark centers and petals in multiple hues, reminiscent of fall. Flower colors in the mix include yellows and golds, oranges and rust colors, as well as reds, burgundies and bi-colored flowers. Autumn Beauty sunflower starts blooming in mid to late summer and continues through fall. Some garden sunflower varieties produce stalks up to 10 feet tall, requiring a large garden bed. The Autumn Beauty variety is slightly smaller, making it better for yards where space is an issue. This plant grows on stalks 4 to 7 feet tall with five to six flowers per stalk. Autumn Beauty sunflowers are an ornamental sunflower and not suitable for culinary uses. This plant will attract bees and hummingbirds to your garden.
