Sunflower Autumn Beauty

Sunflower Autumn Beauty is a striking mixed sunflower variety that brings rich seasonal colour to the garden. The plants produce multiple flower heads in a beautiful blend of warm autumn shades, including golden yellow, bronze, copper, orange, and deep burgundy.

Growing to around 180cm, this variety is ideal for adding height and colour to borders, flower beds, cottage gardens, and cut-flower displays. The strong stems help support the blooms, although staking may be useful in exposed positions.

Autumn Beauty is a great choice for gardeners who want an easy-to-grow annual flower with bold colour and excellent garden impact. The flowers are also suitable for cutting and can help attract pollinators to the garden.
