Description
Lemon Queen Sunflower is a majestic, perennial sunflower that adds height, texture, and pollinator power to Massachusetts gardens. Reaching up to 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide, this hardy hybrid produces soft-lemon, 2-inch blooms from late July through frost. A favorite of butterflies and bees, Lemon Queen creates a brilliant golden display with minimal care.
Plant in full sun at the back of flower beds or naturalized borders. Avoid over-fertilizing to maintain upright stems. Lemon Queen Sunflower rarely sets seed, keeping the show focused on long-lasting blooms. Ideal for pollinator pathways and native garden designs across Massachusetts.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
*This plant may not be in bloom at the time of purchase. Whether pre- or post-bloom, rest assured it’s healthy—just not at its showiest.
