All of the best qualities of the beloved native Willow-leaved Sunflower in a compact, mounding form! Helianthus salicifolius ‘Autumn Gold’ produces a showstopping display of bright yellow, singular flowers from late August to October, gracing the fall landscape with a flush of sunny color. The vigorous blooms reach 2.0” in diameter and remain upright, reaching to only about 24” in height at maturity – finally, a late-season native sunflower that doesn’t flop or require staking at the height of their flowering period! This plant gets its common name from its slender, willow-like foliage, which provides a fine textural element to broader-leaved perennials in the full sun garden. ‘Autumn Gold’ Willow-leaved Sunflower can handle periodic drought conditions once established.
