‘Autumn Gold’ is a compact, mound-forming selection of willow-leaved sunflower that features bright yellow flowers. A dense carpet of 2″ diameter blooms with yellow rays and dark brown center cones cover the plant from late summer to frost. Mature clumps will reach up to 2′ tall and spread to fill a similar area.

Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerant of wide range of soil conditions. If grown in part shade, plants tend to be taller and more open, produce fewer flowers and require support. Spreads over time by creeping rhizomes to form dense colonies. Divide every 3-4 years to control spread and maintain vigor. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant finder)
