Martha Stewart says that Helianthus annuus 'Autumn Beauty' is simply stunning with its large blooms in shades of gold, copper and bronze. This annual sunflower is ideal for planting in full sun, and its strong stems make it stand tall, reaching heights of 4 to 5 feet. 'Autumn Beauty' has multiple-flowering stems that carry an eye-catching profusion of 6-inch blooms. Its medium green foliage is attractive, and the plant attracts birds and bees with its nectar. During Victorian times, sunflowers symbolized bright hopes for the future. Plant these sunflowers as a dramatic backdrop or pepper them throughout your borders. They are easy to maintain, with average soil moisture and neutral pH7 soil. Plant them in the summer and enjoy their blooms through the fall!
