Sunflower Autumn Beauty Mix delivers spectacular garden impact with its distinctive multicolored blooms reaching 8 inches in diameter. Each flower showcases a captivating blend of bright yellow, bronze, and purple hues, often appearing as striking bi-color patterns that command attention in any landscape. This branching variety excels at producing abundant long stems between 15 to 44 inches tall, providing generous cutting material for arrangements while supporting multiple flowers per plant. The pollen-rich blooms make this variety exceptionally valuable for pollinators, particularly bees and other beneficial insects essential to garden ecosystems.

Why Choose Autumn Beauty Mix Sunflower?

• Multicolor Blooms: Striking 8-inch flowers in shades of yellow, bronze, burgundy, and purple — often bi-colored for maximum visual drama.

• Pollinator Magnet: Pollen-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects to support healthy garden ecosystems.
• Compact to Mid-Height: Plants reach 15–44 inches — versatile for borders, beds, containers, and cut flower gardens.
• Heirloom Seed: Passed down through generations for at least 75 years for reliable, consistent harvests year after year.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA structure has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.
• Easy to Grow: Minimal care required — direct sow and enjoy a season-long display of color with basic gardening tools and common sense.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6–8 hours per day for best bloom production and stem strength.
• Soil: Well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.5. Amend with compost for best results.
• Planting: Direct sow seeds ½ inch deep after the last frost date when soil has warmed. Can also start indoors 2–3 weeks before transplanting.
• Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow for branching and airflow.
• Watering: Water deeply once or twice per week. Drought-tolerant once established — avoid overwatering.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting. Avoid high-nitrogen formulas which favor foliage over blooms.
• Succession Sowing: Sow every 2–3 weeks from spring through early summer for continuous blooms into fall.
• Harvesting for Cutting: Cut stems when the outer petals have just opened and the center disk is still tight for longest vase life.
• Deadheading: Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage continued flower production throughout the season.
