This perennial is hardy and drought tolerance once established. An excellent companion to fall garden mums, this maintenance-free perennial is covered in bright golden yellow flowers from September to November, or a hard frost. Compact form grows 24-26" tall and wide.
Blooming from September to a hard frost, Helianthus salicifolius 'Autumn Gold' is a wonderful addition to the perennial garden. The narrow, dark green willow-like leaves form into a tight mound giving a tidy shrub-like appearance from spring through summer before it erupts into color in the fall.
