Sunflower – Autumn Beauty
Price range: $2.50 through $22.00
Autumn Beauty Sunflowers are a striking blend of red, orange, and yellow blooms, each featuring a bold black center. These sunflowers grow vigorously, reaching heights of up to 7 feet, with large, eye-catching flowers that can span up to 10 inches in diameter. Their vibrant, warm-toned blossoms make them an outstanding choice for garden displays, borders, and cut-flower arrangements.
Sunflowers are naturally drought-tolerant and thrive in full sun with well-drained soil, making them easy to grow in a variety of garden conditions. In addition to their ornamental appeal, Autumn Beauty Sunflowers are a magnet for birds, providing seeds that attract a variety of wildlife to your garden.
For best results, sow seeds outdoors in spring after the last frost, giving them plenty of space to grow and support their tall stems. These sunflowers not only brighten the landscape with their stunning fall colors but also offer practical value as cut flowers and wildlife-friendly plants.
Some similarly tall varieties of sunflowers include: ‘Lemon Queen’ and ‘Velvet Queen’. The ‘Sunspot‘ variety is a much shorter, is yellow in-color, and stands between 2 and 3 feet tall.
