Sunflower 'Autumn Beauty Mix'

Sunflower 'Autumn Beauty' is a lovely mix of tall sunflowers in warm shades of yellow, gold, bronze-orange, and burgundy-red. The branching plants produce multiple blooms.

'Autumn Beauty' sunflowers vary in size up to 6" across. They make excellent cut flowers. This tall variety adds height to the garden, and the ripening seeds attract birds.

Plant bushy annuals like rudbeckia, four o'clock, cosmos, and zinnias around the base of tall sunflowers to hide the leggy stems.

Sunflowers are host plants for many butterfly species, including Painted Lady, Bordered Patch, Gorgone Checkerspot, and Silvery Checkerspot.
