Sunflower – Lemon Queen

$2.50$22.00

Lemon Queen Sunflowers are tall-growing, reaching heights between 5 and 7 feet. Lemon Queen Sunflowers will develop 10-inch diameter blooms, are drought tolerant, and require a lot of sun. Birds flock to these sunflowers because they provide an abundance of seeds for them to eat. Sunflowers also make good cut flowers. Planting should be done in the spring, after the danger of frost has passed. 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‘.  Seeding Rate is 3-8 lbs per acre if planting in rows for seed production. If you are wanting to broadcast plant this flower all over in an area you will need about 30 lbs per acre of seed.
