Brighten up a fall landscape with the impressive floral display of the Autumn Gold Narrow-Leaved Sunflower. This perennial botanically known as Helianthus salicifolius provides lush greenery during the spring and summer but also adds a burst of bold color to a landscape during the fall. Golden yellow flowers have long petals that come to a gentle point and surround dark centers. The brown central cone attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The narrow leaves are dark green and provide a stunning contrast against the flowers while giving the plant a full and bushy appearance. These beauties will bloom from last summer through fall.
Plant the Autumn Gold Narrow-Leaved Sunflower in a bed or create a lush border. This is a tall, mounded plant, so feature it near the back of a mass planting or plant it in a container to introduce the greenery and flowers to a porch or patio. The well-branched structure provides consistent greenery before the flowers engulf this plant during the fall. Trim the flowers to display in an autumn-inspired arrangement. Deer and other foraging animals typically leave this plant alone. Autumn Gold Narrow-Leaved Sunflower are gorgeous blooming perennials in USDA zones 5 through 10.
Autumn Gold Narrow-Leaved Sunflower Care
Plant this flowering perennial in full sun in average soil that is moist soil but well drained. The Autumn Gold Narrow-Leaved Sunflower is drought tolerant once established, but water during a dry period to ensure the plant sets flowers. For the first few growing seasons, water weekly or when the top few inches of soil dry out. Container-grown plants need water when the top few inches of soil are dry. Apply a balanced fertilizer in the spring to support a healthy growing season.
This plant will continue to bloom until the weather turns cold, so wait until after the first frost to remove the dead growth.
Autumn Gold Narrow-Leaved Sunflower Spacing
The Autumn Gold Narrow-Leaved Sunflower has a mounded, upright growth habit and will reach 24 to 26 inches tall and 20 to 24 inches wide. Space plants 20 to 26 inches apart for a continuous display of foliage and flowers.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
