Sunflower Lemon Queen Organic
6-foot plants bring butterflies and goldfinches to the garden!
Their habit is unusual: they produce one central bloomstalk, taller than the others, which sports a huge 12-inch bloom. After this arises, numerous side shoots spring up, each offering a 6-inch bloom of the same fabulous color! Wonderfully vigorous and free-blooming, these plants are terrific garden performers, bringing in butterflies and goldfinches with each new bloom.
Sunflowers are the kings of the natural sunny summer garden, attracting butterflies and birds. They're wonderfully easy to grow -- just direct-sow the large seeds after all danger of frost. Not picky about soil type, they need direct sun. Thin the plants to 2 to 4 feet apart so that they can show off their foliage a bit as they grow. Pkt is 50 seeds.
