How to Grow Autumn Beauty Sunflower Seeds:
Autumn Beauty Sunflowers are fast-growing annuals famous for tall stems and multi-toned blooms in gold, bronze, red, and mahogany. Direct sow outdoors after the last frost when soil is warm; sunflowers dislike transplanting. Choose a full-sun spot (6–8+ hours daily) with loose, well-drained soil. Sow seeds 2–3 cm (about 1 in) deep, spacing 30–45 cm (12–18 in) apart for a full, branching look; if you want thicker single stems, you can sow closer and thin later. Keep soil lightly moist until germination, usually 7–10 days in warm weather. For continuous blooms, sow a small batch every 2–3 weeks through early summer.

How to Care for Autumn Beauty Sunflowers:
Water regularly during early growth, then switch to deep watering 1–2 times per week depending on heat and rainfall; consistent moisture keeps stems strong and flowers bigger, but avoid soggy soil. Feed lightly—sunflowers aren’t picky, but a balanced fertilizer or compost at planting time helps; too much nitrogen makes tall leafy plants with fewer blooms. Taller plants may need staking in windy areas. Deadheading spent blooms encourages more branching and flowers, but if you want seeds for next season or birds, leave some heads to mature and dry. Watch for common pests like aphids, caterpillars, or snails on young plants; remove by hand or rinse with water early. Once established, Autumn Beauty is tough and low-maintenance, blooming from mid-summer into fall until frost.
