About This

• FAST, RELIABLE GERMINATION — BEGINNER-PROOF Heirloom sunflower seeds sprout in 7–14 days when soil reaches 70–85°F. Direct sow after your last frost, 1–1.5 in. deep — no transplanting needed. Plants reach 5–7 ft tall and bloom in 70–90 days across USDA Zones 3–9. Full growing guide included in every pack.
• 10–20 BRANCHING BLOOMS PER PLANT — ALL-SEASON COLOR Lemon Queen is a true multi-bloom sunflower: each plant produces 10–20 branching stems, each crowned with a 4–6 in. soft lemon-yellow flower and rich chocolate-brown center. Deadhead spent blooms to trigger continuous reflowering from midsummer well into fall.
• PREMIER CUT FLOWER PERFORMANCE- Slim branching stems and long vase life make Lemon Queen the top sunflower for fresh-cut bouquets. Stems reach cutting height in 70–90 days. The soft yellow tone pairs beautifully with zinnias, cosmos, or other warm-season varieties for stunning mixed arrangements.
• POLLINATOR MAGNET — BEES, BUTTERFLIES, HUMMINGBIRDS & FINCHES Lemon Queen is a certified pollinator powerhouse. Open, pollen-rich blooms attract bees and butterflies all summer. By fall, ripe seed heads bring finches flocking — turning every plant into a complete backyard wildlife habitat from first bloom to first frost.
• HEAT & DROUGHT TOLERANT — THRIVES WITH MINIMAL CARE Once established, Lemon Queen needs only full sun and deep, infrequent watering. Adapts to sandy, poor, and clay-heavy soils and handles summer heat effortlessly. Grows reliably across USDA Zones 3–9 — low-maintenance and genuinely beginner-friendly.
• TRUE HEIRLOOM — SAVE SEEDS & REPLANT YEAR AFTER YEAR 100% open-pollinated and non-GMO. Lemon Queen (Helianthus annuus) breeds true every season — harvest seed heads each fall, store over winter, replant next spring. No need to repurchase. Perfect for seed-saving enthusiasts, school gardens, and budget-conscious growers.
