Sunflower – Lemon Queen

The Lemon Queen Sunflower is a striking, tall-growing variety that reaches heights of 5 to 7 feet and produces large, soft yellow blooms up to 10 inches in diameter. Its pale, buttery petals create a warm, cheerful display that brightens gardens, meadows, and borders from summer through early fall.

Lemon Queen Sunflowers are drought-tolerant and thrive in full sun, making them easy to grow in well-drained soils. They are also highly attractive to birds, providing an abundant source of seeds, and their sturdy stems and large blooms make excellent cut flowers for indoor arrangements.

For best results, sow seeds outdoors in spring after the last frost. With their impressive height, long-lasting flowers, and wildlife-friendly appeal, Lemon Queen Sunflowers are a versatile and rewarding addition to any garden or pollinator-friendly landscape.

Other tall sunflower varieties include: ‘Velvet Queen’ and ‘Autumn Beauty’, which also stand between 5 and 7 feet tall.  A much shorter variety is called ‘Sunspot‘.
