Growing Non-GMO Autumn Beauty Mix Sunflower Garden Seeds
How to Grow Autumn Beauty Mix Sunflowers from Seed
Autumn Beauty Mix sunflower seeds are recommended solely for outdoor growth because of their 60"+ height. Plants grow so vigorously that there is little reason to start seed indoors. Sow Autumn Beauty seeds directly after final frost in a sunny spot at the north end of the garden and sheltered from strong winds. Always plant tall sunflowers at the north end of a garden because it will not take long for a garden to be cast in season-long shadow if not properly planned.
Autumn Beauty sunflowers may need staking if plants are grown isolated and away from the support of a garden. Plant 2-3 Autumn Beauty sunflower seeds 1" deep and 8" apart in average, loamy, and well-drained soil in full sun. Adjust staking and wind protection as plants mature. Autumn Beauty sunflowers are vigorous garden performers and require minimal care. Monitor regularly for caterpillars, but Autumn Beauty Mix sunflowers have no serious pests or disease.
Autumn Beauty Mix Sunflowers in the Vegetable Garden
Autumn Beauty sunflower seeds mature in 90-110 days as 60" tall bushy uprights with green 8-12" spreads and tall 8" wide bicolored heads bursting with a mix of bronze, golden, purple, mahogany, and yellow sunburst petals.
Helianthus annuus is native to the prairies, plains, and meadows of western North America including temperate regions of Canada and Mexico. Many Native American tribes would traditionally plant sunflowers on the north end of their gardens as the "fourth sister" to their famously efficient "three sisters" staple crops of corn, beans, and squash.
