About Autumn Beauty

A fall palette of 6–8” red, gold, rust, and burgundy flowers on multiple branches. Many bicolored, with deep chocolate centers. May produce two dozen flowers per plant. Good cut flower. You will attract chickadees and goldfinches to your garden as the seed heads mature.

About Sunflower

Late summer and fall bloomers, sunflowers are the sentinels of the garden, loved by children and birds alike. Cultivated by southwestern Native peoples as early as 3000 B.C.E., then taken to Europe by the Spanish around 1500 C.E. It's likely that they will self-seed next year if left in the garden over winter.
