Annual Sunflower
'Autumn Beauty'
Helianthus annuus
'Autumn Beauty'
Helianthus annuus
As its name implies, the petal colors of 'Autumn Beauty' are shades of reds, oranges, yellows, and browns. Sunflowers can be grown in dry or moist soils but thrive in a location that receives full sun.
'Autumn Beauty' will grow forty to sixty inches tall and display its four to six inch blooms from the late summer and into the fall. Each packet contains 2 grams, which is approximately 40 seeds.
Planting Instructions:
Sunflowers are very easy to grow and because of their size, quite spectacular for a child’s garden.
Sow directly outdoors, ¾ inches deep. Thin the plants at first to 8 inches and then to two feet to avoid crowding. (We have had good luck transplanting)
Water regularly and weed between the plants to eliminate competition.
Harvest the seeds by cutting the flowering heads when the backs have turned yellow. Complete the drying by hanging them upside down in a warm, dry place.
