Helianthus annuus "Lemon Queen"
They don't call this majestic sunflower the queen for no reason. Multi-branched 6' tall plants with pointed lemon-yellow petals and deep, rich chocolate brown centers make these stand out among sunflowers. Produces one large 5-7” main flower and several smaller secondary flowers. She's a bee-magnet!

Sow outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Or, start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost and transplant seedlings.
Plant seeds individually, 1” deep, and 6-12” apart, in rows 30” apart. Water the seeds directly after planting and then water consistently throughout the season.
If planting directly outside, cover the area with netting or landscape cloth until they sprout. Birds love to dig them up for a snack!
Stagger plantings over the course of several weeks for continuous blooms.
