$10.99Price
Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' is a highly popular, low-maintenance perennial sunflower. It typically grows 5 to 7 feet tall and 3 to 6 feet wide, producing masses of soft, lemon-yellow daisy-like flowers from mid-summer until the first frost. It thrives in full sun and is a major magnet for pollinators.
Growing and Care
'Lemon Queen' is a robust grower perfect for the back of sunny perennial borders.
- Sunlight: Full sun is required for the best structural growth and bloom production.
- Soil: It adapts to a variety of soils, from moist to very dry, and is highly drought-tolerant once established.
- Maintenance: Cut the plant back to ground level in late autumn or early spring.
- Pruning: For bushier plants and more prolific blooms, you can cut the stems back by half in May. This helps prevent the tall stems from needing staking
