Soft, Luminous Yellow Blooms That Light Up the Garden — Certified Organic
Not all sunflowers shout — some glow. Sunflower 'Lemon Queen' is the elegant, refined side of the sunflower world: tall, branching plants covered in a profusion of soft lemon-yellow blooms with dark centers that shimmer in the late summer sun. Where bold reds and oranges make a statement, 'Lemon Queen' creates an atmosphere — airy, luminous, and endlessly beautiful. Botanical Interests brings you this beloved variety as a USDA Certified Organic seed.
'Lemon Queen' (Helianthus annuus) is a tall, multi-branching sunflower that produces dozens of medium-sized blooms per plant in a soft, pale lemon-yellow — a color that pairs beautifully with virtually everything in the garden and in a vase. It's a favorite of pollinators, cut flower growers, and garden designers alike.

Growing Tips
Direct sow outdoors after the last frost in a full-sun location with well-drained soil. Sow seeds 1 inch deep and thin to 18–24 inches apart to give branching plants room to spread. Water deeply but infrequently once established. Pinch the central growing tip when plants reach 12–18 inches to encourage maximum branching and bloom production. Harvest cut flowers when the outer petals have just begun to open for the longest vase life. Succession sow every 2–3 weeks for a continuous harvest of blooms from midsummer through frost.
