The Autumn Gold Narrow-Leaved Sunflower or Helianthus salicifolius provides lush greenery during the spring and summer but also adds a burst of bold color to a landscape during the fall. Sunny yellow petals surround a brown cone and attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The narrow leaves are dark green and give the plant a full and bushy appearance.

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. Trim the flowers to display in an autumn-inspired arrangement. Deer and other foraging animals typically leave the Autumn Gold Narrow-Leaved Sunflower alone. Grow this plant as a perennial in zones 5 through 9.

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. 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.
