15 Seeds Autumn Beauty Sunflower Heirloom Annual Flower

Autumn Beauty Sunflower is a striking heirloom variety of Helianthus annuus, prized for its large blooms that blend warm shades of bronze, gold, and mahogany across a single plant. This annual flower brings height, texture, and a bold cottage-garden feel to beds, borders, and cutting gardens, and the abundant blooms make it a rewarding choice for any sunny planting space.

The sturdy stems and multi-toned flower heads work beautifully in cut-flower arrangements and mass plantings, and the open blooms draw bees and other pollinating insects through the growing season. Plants generally grow tall and upright with branching stems, producing multiple flowers over an extended period. Direct sow after the last frost in a sunny spot, or start indoors for an earlier start.
