Helianthus Lemon Queen brings a generous late-season display of clear lemon-yellow daisies to the back of a sunny border. Tall leafy clumps return each year and flower from summer into fall. The stems provide useful cuts, while pollinators visit the open centers in large numbers. Birds may also use the mature seed heads after flowering.
Grow it in full sun and add compost around the clump in spring. Water deeply during dry spells, then allow the soil to drain. Avoid heavy fertilizer because soft stems are more likely to bend. Divide the plant in spring to renew the clump and make matching plants. Cut stems back after flowering or in late fall, and maintain airflow to reduce mildew and rust.
