Young plants received with new shoots. Planted immediately and now, after a few days, they have already thrived. We are awaiting their flowering, hoping for an abundant one.

Description

Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' is a tall perennial producing an abundance of daisy-like yellow flowers with lemon-yellow centres.

 

This floriferous variety blooms in late summer, a transitional period when summer perennials finish their flowering and autumn ones are just starting. Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' is a perfect ally to bring colour to the garden during this "flowering gap".

Easy to grow and completely hardy, it thrives in sunlight and requires adequate moisture in the soil. The long-lasting flowers are highly appreciated in bouquets.
