Autumn Sun Coneflower

Autumn Sun is a dramatic back-of-the-border perennial capable of reaching six feet or more. Large golden-yellow petals sweep downward from elongated green center cones, creating an airy display atop tall, sturdy stems for many weeks in midsummer and early fall. Its fertile flowers support bees and butterflies and its mature seeds attract small birds.

• Give Autumn Sun plenty of space and grow it in full sun to partial sun.
• In rich soils or exposed sites, neighboring plants or discreet staking can help support its very tall stems.
• Divide established clumps if they spread beyond their allotted area.
