Sunflower Autumnal Beauty
Beautiful sunflower plants with rich, warm autumn colors. The flowers, approximately 15cm in diameter, display a variety of shades of golden yellow and bronze with a darker center. The plants produce multiple flowers and bloom from mid-summer until late autumn. They make lovely borders along entrances and are also ideal for cut flower arrangements.
Because the flowers remain until late autumn, they are an excellent food source for bumblebees, which enjoy visiting them when food becomes scarce.
