Lemon Queen Sunflower – The "Pollinator’s Choice" for Radiant Lemon-Yellow Blooms and Multi-Branching Beauty
Shop the highest quality Lemon Queen Sunflower seeds and join the mission to support our honeybees. When it comes to garden utility, the Lemon Queen is the "Citizen Scientist’s Favorite." This heirloom is famous for its bright, lemon-yellow petals and dark chocolate centers that produce a bounty of nectar. At The Seed Guy, we believe we aren't just selling seeds; we are planting a feast for the butterflies, the golden beauty of the sunflowers waving in the wind, and a legacy of protecting our natural world.
In the garden, Lemon Queen is a "high-performance" variety. Unlike single-stalk giants, this sunflower branches out to produce multiple blooms per plant, giving you flowers all summer long. This variety is the premier choice for anyone who wants to "get your bee-count on"—as it is the official flower used in national bee-monitoring projects. It is a fantastic companion plant for squash and cucumbers, providing the massive amounts of pollen needed for a heavy vegetable set. At The Seed Guy, our seeds are tested for elite germination, ensuring you get sturdy, bloom-heavy stalks that deliver a "Prize-Winning Harvest" of color and life.

Lemon Queen Sunflower Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Wait until the soil is nice and warm! Direct sow outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
2. Preparation: Choose a sunny spot. Since these are multi-branching, they need a little more "elbow room" than single-stalk varieties.
3. Sowing: Plant seeds 1 inch deep. Firm the soil over them to protect them from birds.
4. Care: Water regularly while the plants are young. Once they start branching out, they are quite hardy. No staking is usually required.
5. Pests and Diseases: Generally easy-going. Harvest the heads for seeds or leave them on the stalks for a winter feast for the birds.
Helianthus annuus
