Lemon Cutie Sunflower

Lemon Cutie™ Sunflower features loads of lemon-colored flowers, it won the Fleuroselect 2023 Gold Medal for Novelty! This sunflower is a unique, short-habit variety that will only reach around 1-2' tall, creating a blanket of bright yellow in your garden. Use these to attract bees and other beneficial insects to your garden. The flowers are pollenless with the natural production of nectar for those pollinating insects. A semi-double flower that holds their freshness unusally long! Great for containers. Helianthus annuus. 55 Days to Maturity.

Lemon Cutie™ Sunflower can be direct-seeded or transplanted. Direct-seeding can be easily done with a walk-behind planter like our Hoss Garden Seeder. We recommend using a #3 seed plate and modifying the hole size to fit the variety being planted. Sunflower seed size can vary greatly from one variety to the next, therefore it’s important to always calibrate the seed plate hole size for the variety being planted. Sunflowers grow well when planted on double rows with drip irrigation. Lay one row of drip tape and plant on both sides of the tape to maximize garden space.

Sunflowers also perform well when transplanted. They grow great in our heavy-duty seed starting trays. Transplants are ready to go in the ground when plants can be easily pulled from the seed starting trays. For increased storage potential, harvest sunflowers when blooms are closed. Blooms will then open when cut and placed into a container with water.
