100 Seeds Autumn Beauty Common Sunflower Helianthus annuus Tall Mix Blooms Pollinator Friendly

Autumn Beauty Common Sunflower is a vibrant, branching annual prized for its striking, multi-toned blooms in shades of gold, bronze, russet, and deep mahogany, often with darker centers. Each plant produces multiple flowers on tall, sturdy stems, bringing a warm, late-season palette to beds, borders, and cutting gardens.

This sunflower works beautifully in cottage gardens, meadow plantings, and wildlife-friendly landscapes, where its nectar-rich blooms draw bees and other pollinators. Stems are long and strong enough for fresh-cut arrangements, and the mature seed heads can be left standing for birds or collected once fully dried. Plants branch freely, so spacing and full sun help produce the best flower coverage and upright habit.
