Sunflower Lemon Queen Org

Majestic, multi-branched plants provide gorgeous cut flowers throughout the summer. Easy to grow in almost any well-drained soil, and drought tolerant. In areas with a long growing season, sow a new crop every 2 to 4 weeks up until 3 months before first fall frost for continuous bloom. Due to its intense bee attraction, ‘Lemon Queen’ is the sunflower used in the Great Sunflower Project, a study to gather information about native bee populations.

When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED.

1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date.

When to start inside: 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date. Sunflowers are sensitive to root disturbance; sow in biodegradable pots that can be planted directly in the ground.
