Giant 12-inch Blooms of Intense Lemon-yellow!
Sunflower Lemon Queen Organic
6-foot plants bring butterflies and goldfinches to the garden!
Certified Organic seed produces well-branched plants with 1 central bloomstalk surrounded by numerous side shoots, all bearing 6-inch blooms of their own!
This is one of the most highly sought Sunflower colors -- intense sulphur-yellow without a trace of orange! A single bloom makes a table arrangement of singular drama, but these 6-foot plants produce masses of blooms over a long season. Now available as Certified Organic seed, they're certain to become your favorite!
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.
